Answer:

Just an explanation so you can understand

Step-by-step explanation:

To increase, or decrease a number N, by a percentage X% we multiply N by a percentage multiplier (often just called multiplier).

We can calculate any percentage increase, or decrease, in three steps:

Step 1: write X% in decimal form. Remember, this is done by moving the number X back two decimal places.

Example: 5%=0.05, 12%=0.12, ... .

Step 2: Calculate the percentage multiplier by adding, or subtracting, the decimal found in step 1 to, or from, 1

For percentage increases: add the decimal to 1.

For percentage decreases: subtract the decimal from 1.

Step 3: multiply the number N by the multiplier, found in Step 2.

Which of the algebraic expressions are not linear expressions? Select all that apply. a. 3x - 2 b. -9y c. -7x^2^ + 4x d. -1/2x^2

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

c, d and e

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear expression is an expression in which sum of exponents of variables is at most 1 in each of its terms.

Option a: $3x - 2$

Here, the exponent of the variable is 1.

So, it is a linear expression.

Option b: $-9y$

Here, the exponent of the variable is 1.

So, it is a linear expression.

Option c: $-7x^2 + 4x$

Here, the highest exponent of the variable is 2.

So, it is NOT a linear expression.

Option d: $-\frac{1}{2} x^2$

Here, the exponent of the variable is 2.

So, it is NOT a linear expression.

Option e: $8xy$

Here, sum of exponents of variables is 2.

So, it is NOT a linear expression.

Hence, c, d and e are NOT algebraic expressions.

Jason is cutting a roll of sausage into pieces that are 1/2 inches thifk if the roll is 6 inchew long how many pieces of sausage

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

12 rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

Jason wants to cut roll into pieces that are each 1/2 inches thick. 1/2 is equal to 0.5, so thickness of each roll is 0.5 inches

Total length of the roll is 6 inches. We have to find how many small 0.5 inch rolls can he cut.

In simple words we can say that we have to find: how many 0.5 inches can be out from 6 inches. This type of problem is solved by division. Dividing 6 inches by 0.5 inches will give us: How many 0.5 inches can be cut out from 6 inches i.e. how many 0.5 inches roll can be made from 6 inches roll

6 divided by 0.5 is 12.

This means Jason can cut 12 rolls of sausages each with thickness of 0.5 inches from a roll of 6 inches.
