Answer:
the original number is greater
Step-by-step explanation:
1. let 1x be your starting number
2. therefore, 0.5 * 1x = 0.5x ( amount after you decreased it by 50%)
3. then increase: 0.5x * 1.5 = 0.75x (amount after you increased it by 50%)
4. 0.75x < 1x (this means that the original number is larger than the one you decreased and then increased)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Xb be the no of braclets made
Let Xn be the no of necklaces made
Max Z=250Xb + 500Xn (Objective Function)
Subject to
2Xb + 5Xn <= 625 (rubies)
3Xb + 7 Xn <= 800 ( diamonds)
4Xb + 3 Xn <= 700 (Emeralds)
Xb>=0 (non-negativity)
Xn >= 0 (non negativity
Answer: x=-10, y=13
Step-by-step explanation:

+2y-2y = 0, eliminating y is much easier. So -3x-5x = -8x and 56+24 = 80

Substitute x in any equations but only 1 equation (Don't substitute in both equations.)
For me, I'd substitute x in -3x+2y=50

So the answer is x = -10, y = 13
Answer: 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
(Not the best at math but I am an above level student)
C= pi x diameter
C= pi x 1.205
C= 3.7
