    If m% of m is 36, then m is

    m% means m/100 The word is means equals. We have: m/100 * m = 36 m^2/100 = 36 Cross multiply: m^2 = 3600 Using our equation solver, we get: m = -60 or m = 60 Since percentages cannot be negative, we have: m = 60

    2 fractions have denominators 3 and 4. Their sum = 17/12. If the numerators are switched the sum = 3/2. Determine the 2 fractions.

    2 fractions have denominators 3 and 4. Their sum = 17/12. If the numerators are switched the sum = 3/2. Determine the 2 fractions. Given: x/3 + y/4 = 17/12 Common Denominator = 12: 4x/12 + 3y/12 = 17/12 4x + 3y = 17 Switch numerators: y/3 + x/4 = 3/2 Common Denominator = 12: 4y/12 + 3x/12 =...

    If A is a subset of B and B is a subset of C, prove A is a subset of C

    A c B, so for all x E A, x E B Since B c C, then x E B --> x E c Therefore, for all x E A, x E C, which means A c C because Transitivity of subset relation.

    2 positive consecutive odd integers such that the square of the first plus 3 times the second = 24

    2 positive consecutive odd integers such that the square of the first plus 3 times the second = 24 Let the first integer be n. The next odd consecutive integer is n + 2 Square of the first plus 3 times the second = 24: n^2 + 3(n + 2) = 24 n^2 + 3n + 6 = 24 Subtract 24 from each side: n^2 + 3n...

    The length of a rectangle is increased by 50% and the width is decreased by 50%. How does the area of the rectangle change?

    A = lw If we increased l by 50%, it would be 1.5l If we decreased w by 50%, it would be 0.5l A = (1.5l)(0.5w) = 0.75lw lw - 0.75lw = 0.25lw or 25% lower

    The football team has jerseys numbered from 10 to 30. Everyone gets a jersey, and there are three leftover. How many people are on the football team?

    The formula for inclusive number counts from A to B is: B - A + 1 With B = 30 and A = 10, we have 30 - 10 + 1 21 We're told everyone gets a jersey and there are 3 left over. 21 - 3 = 18 people on the team

    The number a is 70% less than the positive number b. The number c is 80% greater than a. The number c is how many times b?

    1) The number a is 70% less than the positive number b 70% less means 100% - 70% = 30% 30% is 0.3 a = 0.3b 2) The number c is 80% greater than a 80% less means 100% + 80% = 180% 180% is 1.8 c = 1.8a We want c in terms of b. Substitute equation 1 into equation 2: c = 1.8(0.3b) c = 0.54b

    If FG = x + 1, GH = 2x, and FH = 4, what is FG?

    If FG = x + 1, GH = 2x, and FH = 4, what is FG? FG + GH = FH due to segment addition x + 1 + 2x = 4 Typing this equation into our math engine, we get: x = 1 FG = 1 + 1 FG = 2
