A farmer recently sold a large plot of land. The sale decreased his total acreage by 8%. Let t be the original acreage. Find two equivalent expressions that will give the new acreage. Use pencil and paper. Use the expressions to describe two ways to find the new acreage.
Which two expressions will give the new acreage?

A. t-8t
B. t-0.8t
C.8t
D.0.92t
E.0.92t-0.08t
F.0.8t

The two ways to write the new acreage will be or .

Given information:

A farmer recently sold a large plot of land. The sale decreased his total acreage by 8%.

Let t be the original acreage.

So, the final or new acreage can be written as,

Therefore, the two ways to write the new acreage will be or .

D. 0.92t, is indeed a correct answer, but probably B or E are not correctly written. The second correct way is t - 0.08t.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the farmer recently sold 8% of the original acreage of his plot and t is the original acreage, therefore:

8% = 0.08

Thence, the expressions to describe two ways to find the new acreage are:

t - 0.08t

t - 0.08t = 0.92t

D. 0.92t, is indeed a correct answer, but probably B or E are not correctly written. The second correct way is t - 0.08t.

b. 2

step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line =δy/δx

δy= y₂-y₁

δx= x₂-x₁

therefore, using the points (-2,-3)   and (3,7) we can calculate gradient as follows:

m=(7--3)/(3--2) (a number minus a negative number the sign changes to a plus)

m=(7+10)/(3+2)

=10/5

=2

the answer to your question a or b but i am pretty sure it is b. i hope this : )
