Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let your number be X. To increase X by 40% we can multiply it by 1.4, let's call this new number Y.
So Y = X * 1.4
Now to decrease Y by 40% we can multiply it by 1 - .4 = .6. Lets call this new number C.
So C = Y *.6 = (X * 1.4) * .6 = X * (1.4 * .6) = X * .84.
Therefore, C = .84 * X.
So we can see C is 84% of X, or 16% less than X.
Thus, if you increase a number by 40% then decrease it by 40%, the net percentage is -16% .
Final result in terms of 'x' will be → 0.75x
Conversion of verbal statement to algebraic expression: Select the variables given in the verbal statement first. Form the algebraic expression as per verbal statement given in the question.
Let the number = x
As per first statement → "A number 'x' is decreased by 40%"
Algebraic expression for the statement → (x - 40% of x)
→ (x - 0.4x)
→ 0.6x
Second statement → "Then increased by 25%"
Algebraic expression for the statement → (0.6x + 25% of 0.6x)
→ [tex](0.6x+\frac{25}{100}\times 0.6x)[/tex]
→ [tex](0.6x+0.15x)[/tex]
→ [tex]0.75x[/tex]
Therefore, final result in terms of x will be (0.75x).

The wholesale price for a pillow is 7.50 . A certain department store marks up the wholesale price by 70% . Find the price of the pillow in the department store. Round your answer to the nearest cent, as necessary.
The price of the pillow in the department store is $12.75
The wholesale price of the pillow= 7.50
The store mark up price was increased by 70
The price can be calculated as follows
70/100 × 7.5
= 0.7 × 7.5
= 5.25
5.25 + 7.50
= 12.75
Hence the price of the pillow is $12.75

Point g is on line segment FH. Given FG=5x+2, GH= 3x-1, and FH= 9, determine the numerical length of FG.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: fg + Gh = fh
8x+1=9
8x=8
X=1
The numerical length of the line segment FG is 7 units.
Given that, FG=5x+2, GH= 3x-1, and FH= 9.
We need to find the numerical length of FG.
What is a line segment?A line segment is a part of a line that has two endpoints and a fixed length. It is different from a line that does not have a beginning or an end and which can be extended in both directions.
Now, FH=FG+GH
⇒9=5x+2+3x-1
⇒8x+1=9
⇒8x=8
⇒x=1
So, FG=5x+2=7
Therefore, the numerical length of the line segment FG is 7 units.

If BD=7x-10, BC=4x-29,and CD=5x-9 what is x ?
From the question, we know that the sum of BC and CD equals BD.
BD = BC + CD = 7x - 10
BC = 4x - 29
CD = 5x - 9
Let's set BC and CD equal to BD
4x - 29 + 5x - 9 = 7x - 10
Combine like terms on the left side.
9x - 38 = 7x - 10
Add 38 to both sides and subtract 7x from both sides.
2x = 28
Divide both sides by 2
x = 14

To solve for h, we want to use algebraic properties to isolate h.
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}h(b_1 +b_2)[/tex] [multiply both sides by 2]
[tex]2A=h(b_1 +b_2)[/tex] [divide both sides by b₁+b₂]
[tex]\frac{2A}{b_1+b_2} =h[/tex]
[tex]h=\frac{2A}{b_1+b_2}[/tex]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b.
To solve for b₂, we first multiply both sides by 2. Then, we divide both sides by h. This leaves us with [tex]\frac{2A}{h} =b_1+b_2[/tex]. To get b₂, you subtract both sides by b₁.
Answer:
h=2A/(b1+b2)
and
b2=2A/h-b1.
