11% = 16.5
1% = 16.5 / 11
= 1.5
100% = 1.5 * 100
= 150. His weight two years ago was 150 pounds.

X + (x * .11) = x + 16.5
2x * .11 = x + 16.5
Subtract x from both sides.
x * .11 = 16.5
Divide by .11 on both sides.
x = 150

Ray weighed 150 pounds two years ago.

A state becomes good if its people are good justify this statement

nadezda [96]

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the statement is true "A state becomes good if its people are good". Government is one of the most important body for the good future of any country. The difference between a good and bad country occurs due to its government and governance. Similarly, citizens plays a vital role for the difference between good and bad state. The literacy rate of a state should be high for the sake of becoming good state. A state becomes good if its people are good, as they are representative of the state.

The percent of a country's households with broadband Internet access can be modeled by the function f left parenthesis x right

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

a) The function has a maximum at x = 29,59

b) 99,32 %

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -0,11*x² + 6,51*x + 3

Then:

f´(x) = -0,22*x + 6,51

If f´(x) = 0 then - 0,22*x + 6,51 = 0

0,22*x = 6,51

x = 6,51/0,22 ⇒ x = 29,59

if we get the second derivative

f´´(x) = - 0,22 f´´(x) < 0 then we have a maximun at x = 29,59

a) the function has a maximum

b) 29,59 years after 2000 ( in 2030 )

c) f(x) = - 0,11*x² + 6,51*x + 3

f(29,59) = - (0,11)* (29,59)² + 6,51*29,59 + 3

f(29,59) = 99,32 %

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

A.) NM= x

C.) LM = x√2

E.) tan (45°) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If the legs are both x, then the hypotenuse is equal to $x\sqrt{2$

Therefore, LM= $x\sqrt{2$ is correct and MN= x

ankoles [38]

The triangle that is formed from by connecting the shadow, the tree and the endpoints of each is a right triangle. The two triangles formed (by the tree and its shadow, and by Rachel and her shadow) are similar. In similar triangles, the corresponding sides are proportional. Thus, to give the numerical answer to this item,
length of the tree/14 ft = 6 ft / 3.5 ft
length of the tree = 24 ft
