Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean first thought that his hand was 20 cm so:

20cm

When he measures with a ruler, he gets 18 cm so:

18cm

The equation is really simple, and you basically do:

20/20 - 18/20 = 2/20 = 1/10 = 10%

The equation is:

1- x/y

x equals the new number

y equals the original number

=> x(x + 4) = 21

<=> x² + 4x = 21

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 30 : 100 = x : 299

x = (30 x 299)/100

x = 89,70 $

2) 299 - 89,70 = 209,30 $

3)  5 : 100 = x : 209,30

x = 10,465 $

209,30 + 10,465 = 219,77 $

Zapisz w jak najprostszej postaci:<br> a) -x-4(1-x)<br> b) 3(5x-2)-5(3-4x)<br> c) √2(3-x)-2(1-x√2)
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) -x-4(1-x)  =

− 2 x −4 ( 1 − x ) .

2 x − 4

b) 3(5x-2)-5(3-4x)  =

3 ⋅ (5 x − 2 ) − 5 ⋅ ( 5 − 4 x )

35 x  −  31

c) √2(3-x)-2(1-x√2) =

√ 2 x ⋅ ( 3 −x ) − 2 ⋅( 1 − x √ 2 ) .

2 x √ 2 + 3 √ 2 x -√ 2 x x − 2
