Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15 + Percentage increase =

15 + (20% × 15) =

15 + 20% × 15 =

(1 + 20%) × 15 =

(100% + 20%) × 15 =

120% × 15 =

120 ÷ 100 × 15 =

120 × 15 ÷ 100 =

1,800 ÷ 100 = 18

hope this helped :)

Find limit as x approaches 2 from the left of the quotient of the absolute value of the quantity x minus 2, and the quantity x m

Molodets [167]

Answer:

$\lim_{x \to 2^-} \frac{|x-2|}{x-2}=-1$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find $\lim_{x \to 2^-} \frac{|x-2|}{x-2}$ .

By definition:

$|x-2|=\left \{ {{x-2,\:if\:x\:>\:2} \atop {-(x-2),\:if\:x\:$

Since we want to find the Left Hand Limit, we use f(x)=-(x-2)

$\implies \lim_{x \to 2^-} \frac{|x-2|}{x-2}=\lim_{x \to 2} \frac{-(x-2)}{x-2}$ .

$\implies \lim_{x \to 2^-} \frac{|x-2|}{x-2}=\lim_{x \to 2} (-1)$ .

The limit of a constant is the constant.

$\implies \lim_{x \to 2^-} \frac{|x-2|}{x-2}=-1$ .

Yan is climbing down a ladder. Each time he descends four rungs on the ladder, he stops to see how much farther he has to go

anastassius [24]

Question:

Yan is climbing down a ladder. Each time he descends 4 rungs on the ladder, he stopped to see how much farther he has to go. If Yan made eight stops with no extra steps, which expression best shows another way to write the product of the number of ladder rungs that Yan and climbed?

4+4+4+4

8+8+8+8

(-1)(4+4+4+4)

(-8) + (-8) + (-8) + (-8)

Answer:

$Total = (-8) +(-8) +(-8) +(-8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em></em> $Rungs = -4$ <em> --- It is negative because he is climbing down</em>

$Steps = 8$

Required

An expression for the number of rungs climbed

To do this, we simply multiply the number of rungs by the steps taken.

$Total = Rungs * Steps$

$Total = -4 * 8$

This can be rewritten as:

$Total = -8 * 4$

The product, when written as sum is:

$Total = (-8) +(-8) +(-8) +(-8)$

Find x so that (x,-14) is a solution to 2x+3y=12

Monica [59]

Answer:

Question:

Find $x$ so that $(x,-14)$ is a solution to $2x+3y=12$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are asked to replace $y$ with -14 and solve for $x$ in the equation:

$2x+3y=12$ .

$2x+3y=12$ with $y=-14$ :

$2x+3(-14)=12$

$2x-42=12$

Add 42 on both sides:

$2x=54$

Divide both sides by 2:

$x=27$ .

So the $x$ -coordinate that corresponding to $y=-14$ is $27$ .

Verify that:

$(27,-14)$ is a point satisfying $2x+3y=12$ .

Replace $x$ with 27 and $y$ with -14:

$2(27)+3(-14)=12$

$54+-42=12$

$12=12$ is true so our work must be right.
