It decreased 125, and 125 of 975 is roughly 13%, so the percent of decrease rounded to the nearest whole percent would be 13%.
Step-by-step explanation:
x=0 y=2
x=-2 y=0
y=mx+b
b=2
0= -2m+2
2m=2
m=1
y= x + 2
Substitute the value of y into the second equation
y = 14x - 6
y = -4x + 48
14x - 6 = -4x + 48
add 6 to both sides
14x = -4x + 54
add 4x to both sides
18x = 54
divide both sides by 18
x = 3
The option is B.) x = 3
Hope this helps!
2^-2 = 1/2^2
so: (1/2^2)*(12*3)-5^3
simplify: (1/4)*36-125
36*(1/4) = 36/4 so: 9-125
subtract: -116
