What single percentage change is equivalent to a 15% decrease followed by a 16% decrease?

Answers

Answer 1
Decrease of 28.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for a increase of a% is 1 + a/100.

The multiplier for a decrease of b% is 1 - b/100.

Decrease of 15%

1- 15/100 = 1- 0.15 = 0.85

Decrease of 16%

1- 16/100 = 1 - 0.16 = 0.84

Both:

0.85*0.84 = 0.714

Change:

The initial percentage is 100% = 1.

0.714 - 1 = -0.286

Negative, so a decrease

The answer is a decrease of 28.6%.

how do you simplify an expression like -3x + 15 - 8x? do you combine like terms and if so, how?​

Answers

Answer:

so, with terms like -3x and -8x remember to keep the negative or positive sign the same when combining like terms.

in this instance the simplified expression would be:

Answers

Area model of the question can be modeled by the picture attached.

Area model for multiplication:    Area model for the multiplication is given by the area of the rectangle,

            Area = Length × Width

Following the area model, we will find the area of each rectangle given in the picture,

Area of blue rectangle = [tex]x\times x[/tex]

                                      = [tex]x^2[/tex]

Area of the orange rectangle = [tex]4\times x[/tex]

                                                 = [tex]4x[/tex]

Area of the yellow rectangle = [tex]x\times 2[/tex]

                                                = [tex]2x[/tex]

Area of the green rectangle = [tex]4\times 2[/tex]

                                               = [tex]8[/tex]

          Therefore, area model for the given question can be modeled by the picture attached.

Answers

answer: 3, you bought 3 candy bars

explanation: If your total amount spent was $16 and you need to know the how many candy bars were bought, you would subtract $7 for the magazine from the total spent of $16. Then when you come up with 9 that’s how much money they spent on candy bars. If a candy bar is $3 each, 9 divided by 3 is 3. Which means you spent $9 for 3 candy bars.

Answers

Given:

The polynomial is

[tex]4x+2x^5-6x^3+2[/tex]

To find:

The standard form of the polynomial and leading coefficient.

Solution:

In standard form of a polynomial, we arrange the terms in descending order of their degrees.

Leading coefficient is the constant value before the variable with highest power.

Let the given polynomial be p(x).

[tex]p(x)=4x+2x^5-6x^3+2[/tex]

The standard form of the polynomial is

[tex]p(x)=2x^5-6x^3+4x+2[/tex]

The highest power of x is 5 and 2 is before [tex]x^5[/tex]. The leading coefficient is 2.

Therefore, the standard form of the polynomial is [tex]2x^5-6x^3+4x+2[/tex] and the leading coefficient is 2.

In AXYZ, X = 7.7 inches, y = 4.2 inches and z=7.3 inches. Find the measure of Y to
the nearest degree.

Answers

Answer:

32.38°

Step-by-step explanation:

In AXYZ, X = 7.7 inches, y = 4.2 inches and z=7.3 inches. Find the measure of Y to

the nearest degree.

We solve using Cosine rule

Y = arc cos( x² + z² - y²/2xz)

x = 7.7 inches

z = 7.3 inches

y = 4.2 inches

Y = arc cos( 7.7² + 7.3² - 4.2²/2 × 7.7 × 7.3)

Y = 32.38°

Hi! I know this is not the correct way to ask a question, but may someone explain how to do the Division Property of Equality and the Multiplication Property of Equality? ​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So the division property states that if both sides of an equation are equal and whenever you divide both sides of that equation by the same number they should stay equal. Example

12=12 right? so if I divide both 12 and 12 by 3 I should get 3=3

We use this to solve for variable such as x

So new example lets take

5x=25

Since both sides are equal I can divide by the same number and should get an equal number right? So lets divide by 5 on both sides. 5x divided by 5 equals x and 25 divided by 5 equals 5 so my new equation is

x equals 5 or x=5.

If I plug my x=5 back into the equation they should be equal so lets see...

5(5)=25

25=25
