If they won 55 of the games, that means they lost the rest of the 75. So,
75 - 55 = 20 games lost. To find the percentage of 20 out of 75, you set up a proportion:
where x = the percentage of games lost. Cross multiply and divide to isolate the x:
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the Royals lost 26.667 % of their games.
Let the two numbers be x and y
Then
x + y = 60
And
x - y = 2
x = y + 2
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
y + 2 + y= 60
2y + 2 = 60
2y = 60 - 2
2y = 58
y = 58/2
y = 29
Now putting the value of y in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
x + 29 = 60
x = 60 - 29
x = 31
So the value of the two numbers comes out to be 31 and 29. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 x = -2
You want the value of x. x is being multiplied by 1/4. To get x alone on the left side, you need to divide both sides by 1/4. Dividing by 1/4 is the same as multiplying by 4.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
4 * 1/4 x = -2 * 4
4 * 1/4 = 1, so on the left side you get 1x which is just x.
x = 8

Answer:
B (6,12)
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance from point A (6,5) to point B should be 7.
A- (6,5)-> (7,5) is 1 unit right
B- (6,5)-> (6,12) is 7 units up
C- (6,5)-> (6,7) is 2 units up
D- (6,5)-> (12,5) is 6 units up
