Answer:

0.6x = 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write en equation:

We have to multiply the variable x by the percentage given (60%) in decimal form (divided by 100). That expression must be equal to 87.

Mathematically speaking:

x (60/100) = 87

0.6x = 87

Can you please give me the cords of the points when the figure is rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

Don't you mean "coords," or (better yet) "coordinates?"

Look at line DG as an example. It's vertical. If you rotate the whole figure clockwise, then line DG becomes the horiz. line D'G.' G' would have the coordinates (-1,-1), and D' (5,-1). Plot these points G' and D' and see whether or not you agree.

Ben walks 25 miles from home to work. If he walks the first 5 miles in 1 hour, the second 5 miles in 1.4 hours, the third 5 mile

natka813 [3]

<u>Answer:</u>

The total time taken to complete 25 miles is 7.6 hours.

Solution:

Ben walks 5 miles in 1 hour,

Second 5 miles in 1.4 hours,

Third 5 miles in 1.7 hours,

Last 5 miles in 1.8 hours

So he walked total 20 miles in (1+1.4+1.7+1.8) hours = 5.9 hours = 6 hours (approximately)

So his average speed is $\left(\frac{20}{6}\right)$ miles/hours = 3.33 miles/hours.

i.e. he travels 3.3 miles in 1 hour,

Then, he travels 1 miles in $\left(\frac{1}{3.3}\right)$ hours

Hence the total time he will take to walk 25 miles is $\left(25 \times\left(\frac{1}{3.3}\right)\right) \text { hours }$ $\Rightarrow \left(\frac{25}{3.3}\right) \text { hours } = 7.5757 hours$

That is approximately 7.57 or 7.6 hours.

Please help Explanation will be appreciated thanks,

Answer: A; 6.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

For the first problem, we first want to find y so that we can plug it into the expression.

We can use elimination method for the system of equations to solve.

3x+3y=21

3x-y=5

We subtract both equations to eliminate x.

4y=16 [divide both sides by 4]

y=4

Now that we know y, we can plug it into the expression.

$\frac{4}{2} -3$ [divide]

$2-3$ [subtract]

$-1$

We know that the answer is A.

Problem 2

For the second problem, we need to know how to calculate percent error. The formula for precent error is $\frac{|measured-exact|}{exact} *100%$ . We know that the exact value is 80 because the buyer was supposed to given 80. 75 is the measured value because that was what the buyer was given.
