Answer:
The fiscal policy decition will derive in a deficit by at least $50 billion in the country federal budget.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that changes in fiscal policy, imply decreases and increases to taxes and government spending.
In a recession situation, everyone would expect an <u>expansionary</u> fiscal policy (two examples would be tax cuts and increased government spending).
Answer:
(3x + 5)/2 = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
If you substitute 3 for x, you get the equation:
(3(3) + 5)/2 = 7
(9 + 5)/2 = 7
14/2 = 7
Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Answer:
To find the scale factor for a dilation, we find the center point of dilation and measure the distance from this center point to a point on the preimage and also the distance from the center point to a point on the image.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the two numbers 
and 
.
Given these variables, we can say: 
, based on the first sentence in the problem.
Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:
To solve, we can simply substitute 
in for in the second equation and solve.
- Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition
- Cross multiplication (
)
- Subtract
from both sides of the equation
- Factor left side of the equation
Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,
,
Since is not positive in this case, 
is not a solution.
Thus, 
is our only solution. In this case,
,
which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.
