Explain how 20% can be different amount,

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

As finding 10% of a number means to divide by 10, it is common to think that to find 20% of a number you should divide by 20 etc. Remember, to find 10% of a number means dividing by 10 because 10 goes into 100 ten times. Therefore, to find 20% of a number, divide by 5 because 20 goes into 100 five times.

Answer:

side lengths are 96 for HI and PQ and 64 for IJ and RQ

hypothenuse is 115

Step-by-step explanation:

delta HIJ = delta PQR

HI = PQ   -->   3x = x + 64

divide both sides by x --> 3 = x/x + 64/x      *x/x = 1

3 = 1 + 64/x subtract both sides by 1

2 = 64/x --> 2x = 64 divide both sides by 2

x = 32

IJ = RQ --> x + 32 = 2x

divide both sides by x

1 + 32/x = 2 (again, x/x = 1)

subtract both sides by 1

32/x = 1

x = 32

plug in 32 for x to get the side lenghts

so 3(32) = 96

and 32 + 32 = 64

use equation a^2 + b^2 = c^2

96^2 + 64^2 = c^

9216 + 4096 = c^2

13312 = c^2        square root 13312

c = 115.378

8x -2 + (4x - 1)(4x+1) = 0

Answers

Answer:

8x - 1 + 16x²

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 2 + (4x - 1)(4x+1) = 0

=> 8x - 2 + 16x² + 4x - 4x - 1

=> 8x - 2 + 16x² - 1

=> 8x - 1 + 16x²

Therefore, 8x - 1 + 16x² is our answer

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-7, -6) and is
parallel to the line 2 - y = 7?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = -6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Because is a line is of the form

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

and its parallel to the line

[tex]2 - y &= 7\\- y &= 5\\y = -5[/tex]

So that's meaning that the slope [tex]m[/tex] is equal to 0 then the equation now is of the form

[tex]y = b[/tex]

Then if pass for the point -6 and [tex]b[/tex] is the point of cut with the [tex]y[/tex] axis then our equation of the line is equal to

[tex]y = -6[/tex]

The denominator of a fraction is 8 more than its numerator. If 1 is subtracted from the numerator and 3 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes 1/2. Find the fraction

pleases help as soon as possible..thank you so much

Answers

Answer:

The fraction is 13/21.

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominator of a fraction is 8 more than its numerator.

Let x be the numerator: x

So the denominator is: x + 8

[tex]\frac{x}{x + 8}[/tex]

If 1 is subtracted from the numerator and 3 is added to the denominator, the fraction becomes 1/2.

It will become:

[tex]\frac{x - 1}{x + 8 + 3} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{x - 1}{x + 11} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Now, by using cross multiplication, multiply (x - 1) by 2 and (x+11) by 1.

It will become:

2x - 2 = x + 11

Now transpose and combine the same values. Make sure to change the integer sign. If the integer is positive, change it to negative when you transpose it.

2x - x = 11 + 2

x = 13

So the value of x is 13. Now to check if it is correct. Go back to the equation([tex]\frac{x - 1}{x + 11} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex])

Put the value of x in it.

[tex]\frac{13-1}{13+11} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{12}{24} = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

12/24 is equivalent to 1/2 so that is correct.

Now, to find the main fraction. Go back to the original equation which is;

([tex]\frac{x}{x + 8}[/tex])

Put the value of x.

[tex]\frac{13}{8 + 13}[/tex]

= 13/21

What is the answer? I have looked and there is no question that is close to mine.

Answers

Answer:

Since there is a right angle, this is a right-angled triangle and we can solve for x using Pythagoras Theorem that goes [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex], where c is the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle).

In this case, x would be the c.

Substitute in values of a and b:

[tex]10^2+10^2=c^2[/tex]

[tex]c^2=200[/tex]

[tex]c=\sqrt{200}[/tex]

[tex]c=10\sqrt{2}[/tex] (Option A)

help, please i cant do this

Answers

Answer:   x = 3.95

============================================================

Explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem to tie together the three sides of the right triangle.

[tex]a = x-3 = \text{horizontal leg}\\b = x+5 = \text{vertical leg}\\c = 9 = \text{hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\(x-3)^2 + (x+5)^2 = 9^2\\x^2-6x+9 + x^2+10x+25 = 81\\2x^2+4x+34 = 81\\2x^2+4x+34-81=0\\2x^2+4x-47=0\\[/tex]

From here, we use the quadratic formula to solve for x.

[tex]x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(4)\pm\sqrt{(4)^2-4(2)(-47)}}{2(2)}\\\\x = \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{392}}{4}\\\\x \approx \frac{-4\pm19.79898987}{4}\\\\x \approx \frac{-4+19.79898987}{4} \ \text{ or } \ x \approx \frac{-4-19.79898987}{4}\\\\x \approx \frac{15.79898987}{4} \ \text{ or } \ x \approx \frac{-23.79898987}{4}\\\\x \approx 3.94974747 \ \text{ or } \ x \approx -5.94974745\\\\[/tex]

We'll ignore the negative x value because it makes the sides x+5 and x-3 to be negative numbers. Negative side lengths make no sense.

The only practical solution is roughly x = 3.94974747; rounding to 3 sig figs leads to the final answer of x = 3.95

In this case, 3 sig figs means that we're rounding to 2 decimal places.

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

     [] Since is the line is going up from bottom-left to top-right, we know it will be positive

     [] Because this graph has distinctive coordinate-points, we can use rise over run

     () The other method is to use the change in y divided by the change in x

We start at (-2, 0), then count 2 up and 3 over to get to (2, 1) which gives us a slope of 2/3

The sum of first four terms is a G.P. is 30 and that of the last four terms is 960. if its first term is 2 find the common ratio .

Answers

If the sum of first four terms in a G.P. is 30 and that of the last four terms is 960, then the sum of the first 8 terms is 990

We also know that a = 2

sum of first 4 terms

= 2(r^4 - 1)(r-1) = 30

r^4 - 1 = 15r - 15

r^4 - 15r + 14 = 0

r = 1 works for the equation , but r = 1 would make all the terms of the

GP the same, so clearly not a solution

r^4 - 15r + 14 = 0 , a bit of trial and error ....

(r-1)(r - 2)(r^2 + 3r + 7) = 0

so r = 2 or r = not real

check: sum(4) = 2(2^4 - 1)/(2-1) = 30 , as needed

so r = 2 , BUT it does not work for sum(8)

sum(8) = 2(2^8 - 1)(2-1) = 510 , not 990 as necessary according to your second part of the question.

x = 32

Step 1: Solve the right-hand side of the equation.

47 - x = 50 - 35

=> 47 - x = 15

Step 2: Subtract '47' from both ends.

=> 47 - x = 15

Step 3: Solve for x.

=> -x = -32

=> x = 32.
