Answer:
The high school graduating class changed by approximately 23%
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
The high school graduating class of 2010 was 260 people
Five years later the high school graduating class was 320 people.
we know that
260 people represent the 100%
so
The difference is (320-260)=60 people
using proportion
Find out what percentage represent 60 people
Let
x ----> the percentage that represent 60 people
therefore
The high school graduating class changed by approximately 23%
Answer:
It would be 15 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the windows have to have the same area, you would have to make the base x height equal to 90. 90 divided by 6 is 15
Answer:
b = 3 and a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
You have your given equation:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
You need to find what a and b is.
To find b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -2. When you multiply a number you have to multiply all of them. You have to choose a number that would cancel out all of a.
So now your equation would look like this when you solve for b:
2a - 3b = -11
-2a - 6b = -16
-------------------
a - 9 = -27 then you divide -9 to -27 which is 3 so b = 3.
To find a:
2a - 3b = -11
a + 3b = 8
I multiplied a + 3b = 8 by -1 and 2a - 3b = -11 by -1 as well.
Your equation will look like this when you solve for a:
-2a + 3b = 11
-1a - 3b = -8
------------------
-3a = 3 then divide -3 to 3 which is -1 so a = -1.
Check to see if you have the correct answer by plugging in the number you got for a and b into the equation and solve.
1. 2(-1) -3(3) = -11
-2 - 9 = -11
2. -1 + 3(3) = 8
-1 + 9 = 8
Laugh out loud a pun isn't it
