6 meters
72 = x+x+5x+5x
72 = 12x
6 = x
the shorter side is 6 meters
EQ. 1: x + y = 8
EQ. 2: 4x-y = 7
Rewrite EQ. 1 as EQ. 3: x = 8-y
Replace x in EQ.2 with EQ. 3:
4(8-y) - y = 7
Use the distributive property:
32 - 4y - y = 7
Combine like terms:
32 - 5y = 7
Subtract 32 from each side:
-5y = -25
Divide both sides by -5
y = -25 / -5
y = 5
Now replace y with 5 in EQ. 3 to solve for X:
x = 8-5
x = 3
The point of intersection is X = 3, Y = 5, which is written as (3,5)
Percent decrease : (original number - new number) / original number..*100
= (225,000 - 191,250) / 225,000.....* 100
= 33,750 / 225,000....* 100
= 0.15 * 100
= 15% decrease <==
Answer:
N= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Just divide both sides by 45.3 to isolate the variable (n).
Hope this helped :)
Answer:
9. x=102
10. x=56
11. x=104
12. x=138
Step-by-step explanation:
9. In this problem, they are alternate exterior angles, meaning they are the same value. x=102
10. x is a corresponding angle, meaning they are the same. x=56
11. There are consecutive interior angles. The sum of these two angles is 180. to find x, subtract 76 from 180. 180-76 = 104 x = 104
12. These two angles are verticle angles, meaning they are equivalent. x = 138
