Well think about it this way -9 times what equals 252 you already know x is going to be a negative number because the outcome is positive so try doing the problem backwards 252/-9=-28 so x=-28
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
EXAMPLE #1:
What number is 75% of 4? (or Find 75% of 4.)
The PERCENT always goes over 100.
(It's a part of the whole 100%.)
4 appears with the word of:
It's the WHOLE and goes on the bottom.
A proportion showing one fraction with PART as the numerator and 4 as the denominator equal to another fraction with 75 as the numerator and 100 as the denominator.
We're trying to find the missing PART (on the top).
In a proportion the cross-products are equal: So 4 times 75 is equal to 100 times the PART.
The missing PART equals 4 times 75 divided by 100.
(Multiply the two opposite corners with numbers; then divide by the other number.)
4 times 75 = 100 times the part
300 = 100 times the part
300/100 = 100/100 times the part
3 = the part
A proportion showing the denominator, 4, times the diagonally opposite 75; divided by 100.
Answer:
The wide of river is 
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we know that
Triangles DEG and DEF are congruent by ASA (Angle-Side-Angle) Congruence
therefore
EG=EF
2x² + 5x -6x - 15 = 0
2x² - x - 15 = 0
2x² -x = 15
x = 3
3 x 3 = 9 x 2 = 18 - 3 = 15
i really don't know how i got 3 in the first place but that is your answer
hope this helps
