Answers

Answer 1

Answer: In 2000, 7689 weekly papers = 94% of number of weekly papers in 1960

Let weekly papers in 1960 be x.

   7689 = 94% of x

   7689 = (94/100)*x

   7689 * 100/94 = x

   8179.787 ≈ x

   x ≈ 8179.787

Number of weekly newspapers in 1960 rounded to the nearest whole number = 8180

Which is a factor of 76? A.
4

B.
14

C.
8

D.
12

Answers

The best thing to do is to divide 76 by all of them, and if it is whole number, it is a factor.
76/4= 19
76/14= 5.438
76/8= 9.5
76/12= 6.333
As the only whole answer is 19, this means that 4 is the only multiple here
Hope this helps :)

The factors of 76 are: 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76

1 × 74
2 × 38
4 × 19

Looking at the options given, A) 4 is a factor of 76, B) 14 is not shown, so it is not a factor of 76, C) 8 is not shown either, and finally D) 12 is not a factor of 76. This means that from the options that were given, the correct answer is A) 4.

y=ax+b
a... slope
b... interception on the line y

you get the equation y=-1/2 *x + 12

This is what i would put Because they have given you slope and y intercept .

Equation of line format

Y=mx+b

Where slope is "m" : -1/2

Where Y-intercept is "b": 12

Therefore,

Y= -1/2x+12
