Answer:
<u>After a 75% increase, it would become</u>
x + 75%x = x + 0.75x = x(1 + 0.75) = 1.75x
<u>After a 50% decrease, it would become</u>
1.75x - 50%(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.5(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.875x = 0.875x =
Because is less than x, the new amount would be less than the original.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 + (x-2)^2 = (√20)^2
Simplify the right side:
x^2 + (x-2)^2 = 20
Subtract 20 from both sides:
x^2 + (x-2)^2 - 20 = 0
Factor:
(x-4)(x+2) = 0
Solve for each x:
x = 4 and x = -2
The side cant be a negative value, so the answer would be x = 4
The answer is B.

Answer:42x5=210/14=15
Step-by-step explanation:Each student would get 15 pencils
$.75 bc 15 x 4 is 75 so that would make 75¢ or $.75
