Answer:

$55

Step-by-step explanation:

____ decrease by 25%= $41.25, which the unknown number is $55.

Varvara68 [4.7K]2 years ago

Let the original price be x.

x * (1 - 0.25) = $41.25

0.75x = $41.25

x = $41.25 / 0.75 = $55

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is four times the length of one of the legs. The length of the other leg is 1500⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯√ fee
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So this is just playing with the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 with a and b as legs and c as the hypotenuse.

Let's say a is equal to 1500 so then c is 4 times b

1500^2 + b^2 = (4b)^2  Now we just treat this like a normal algebraic expression

2,250,000 = 16b^2 - b^2

2,250,000 = 15b^2

150,000 = b^2

sqrt(150,000) = b

100sqrt(15) = b

You can check this now.

1500^2 + sqrt(150,000)^2 = c^2

sqrt(2,250,000 + 150,000) = c

sqrt(2,400,000) = c

400sqrt(15) = c Which fits the requirement of c = 4b

In a small town, the stray cat population is rapidly increasing. There are currently 20 stray cats, and it is estimated
BigorU [14]
2 years will be 80 cats (20 x 2 = 40 (year 1) and 40 x 2 = 80 (year 2))

3 years will be 160 (80 x 2 = 160)

5 years will be (160 x 2 = 320 (year 4) and 320 x 2 = 640 (year 5)) So 5 years will be 640

PLEASE HELP ME QUICKLY!!!!

For each, you'll use the slope formula 
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

For function f, you'll use the two points (1,6) and (2,12) since x ranges from x = 1 to x = 2 for function f

The slope through these two points is 
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (12-6)/(2-1)
m = 6/1
m = 6

-------------------------------------------

For function g, you'll use (2,4) and (3,20)

The slope through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (20-4)/(3-2)
m = 16/1
m = 16

-------------------------------------------

For function h, you'll use (0,-6) and (2,-18). The y coordinates can be found by plugging in x = 0 and x = 2 respectively into h(x)

The slope through these two points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-18-(-6))/(2-0)
m = (-18+6)/(2-0)
m = (-12)/(2)
m = -6

-------------------------------------------

The order from left to right is: h, f, g

Equality Properties

  • Multiplication Property of Equality
  • Division Property of Equality
  • Addition Property of Equality
  • Subtract Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

0.4(12 - 3x) = 0.3(12x - 16)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute:                                4.8 - 1.2x = 3.6x - 4.8
  2. Add 1.2x on both sides:          4.8 = 4.8x - 4.8
  3. Add 4.8 on both sides:           9.6 = 4.8x
  4. Divide 4.8 on both sides:       2 = x
  5. Rewrite:                                   x = 2

9*10           90

------    = ------------

10*10          100

9/10   = 90/100

The decimal form for 9/10  is .9  and for 90/100 is .90
