Decreasing 3/4 times a number by 18 is equal to
increasing 1/5 times the number by 5.

460/11, rounded to 41.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that our number is x. The first part states that we decrease 3/4 of a number by 18. Therefore, we find (3/4) of x and subtract that by 18, or (3/4)x-18. That is then equal to increasing (1/5) of x by 5, or (1/5)x+5. Our equation is then (3/4)x-18=(1/5)x + 5.

Adding 18 to both sides, we get (3/4)x = (1/5)x + 23.

Multiplying both sides by 5 and 4 (or 20 as a whole) to remove the denominators, we get that 15x=4x + 460. Subtracting both sides by 4x, we get that 11x=460, and dividing both sides by 11, our answer is rounded to 41.8 (or just 460/11)

the answer is c: divide the arc's degree measure by 360°, then multiply by the circumference of the circle.

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).
