 ....Because the numerator (top part) is larger than the denominator, you know it will be more than 100%.
let percent be  %; Since percentages are really just fractions with the denominator of  , we can say
so, we can write
 .......turn the denominator from a  to a

| Solved by pluggable solver: Solving a linear system of equations by subsitution |
Lets start with the given system of linear equations


Now in order to solve this system by using substitution, we need to solve (or isolate) one variable. I'm going to choose y.
Solve for y for the first equation
Add to both sides
Divide both sides by 6.
Which breaks down and reduces to
Now we've fully isolated y
Since y equals we can substitute the expression into y of the 2nd equation. This will eliminate y so we can solve for x.
Replace y with . Since this eliminates y, we can now solve for x.
Distribute -2 to 
Multiply
Reduce any fractions
Add to both sides
Combine the terms on the right side
Now combine the terms on the left side.
Multiply both sides by . This will cancel out and isolate x
So when we multiply and (and simplify) we get
<---------------------------------One answer
Now that we know that , lets substitute that in for x to solve for y
Plug in into the 2nd equation
Multiply
Add to both sides
Combine the terms on the right side
Multiply both sides by . This will cancel out -2 on the left side.
Multiply the terms on the right side
Reduce
So this is the other answer
<---------------------------------Other answer
So our solution is
and 
which can also look like
( , )
Notice if we graph the equations (if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)


we get
graph of (red) and (green) (hint: you may have to solve for y to graph these) intersecting at the blue circle.
and we can see that the two equations intersect at ( , ). This verifies our answer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check:
Plug in ( , ) into the system of equations
Let and . Now plug those values into the equation 
Plug in and 
Multiply
Add
Reduce. Since this equation is true the solution works.
So the solution ( , ) satisfies 
Let and . Now plug those values into the equation 
Plug in and 
Multiply
Add
Reduce. Since this equation is true the solution works.
So the solution ( , ) satisfies 
Since the solution ( , ) satisfies the system of equations


this verifies our answer.

Triangles/702088: I'm trying to help my son with his math. Pre-algebra is not my friend! :) Here is the problem.
Use a protractor and a straightedge to draw a triangle that has a right angle and a 30 degree angle. Then measure the shortest and longest sides of the triangle to the nearest millimeter. What is the relationship of the two measurements. What I don't get is the relationship part. What does that mean? 1 solutions

You can put this solution on YOUR website!Use a protractor and a straightedge to draw a triangle that has a right angle and a 30 degree angle. Then measure the shortest and longest sides of the triangle to the nearest millimeter. What is the relationship of the two measurements.
1.
first draw a line segment and mark one point with C where you will have the vertex of 90° angle, you can use your protractor to draw this line, as the protractor includes a straight edge
2.
align the the guide markings on the protractor so that the line is at the 0-degree mark.
3.
make a mark by the 90° point on the protractor using a pen or pencil
4.
move the protractor so that the straight edge connects the vertex point and the mark you made at 90 degrees, use a straight edge of the protractor and connect the two points
5.
ones you got 90° , use one leg of the angle set a point B (the vertex point of 30° angle)to any convenient width, align the the guide markings on the protractor so that the line is at the 0-degree mark at B
6.
make a mark by the 30° point on the protractor
7.
use a straight edge of the protractor, aline point B and mark of the 30° point and draw a line from B through mark of the 30° point and continue until line intersect leg of the angle of 90° and you will get your right angle triangle
since one angle is 90° and another one is 30° , means that third angle is 60°
so, you will have 30° - 60° - 90° right triangle which and the ratio of this triangle's longest side to its shortest side is "two to one" which means, the longest side is twice as long as the shortest side

A  triangle is a right triangle whose internal angles are  ,  and  .
The three sides of a  triangle have the following characteristics:
All three sides have  lengths.
The shorter leg,  , is half the length of the hypotenuse,  . That is,

The longer leg's length,  , is the shorter leg times  . That is,

test/701443: How do you find the number of possible x-intercepts and the number of changes in direction? 1 solutions
Answer 432419 by MathLover1(6634) on 2013-01-13 09:54:54 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!The  of a polynomial are where the polynomial intersects the  on the real coordinate plane. Mathematically speaking, these  only occur when  is equal to  .
Polynomials can have   because of the way they curve. The number of  a certain polynomial can have is the  of the polynomial.
A   polynomial can only have   . A  degree can have  to  , but it doesn't have to have four. For even degree polynomials, it is possible that there are no  .
 degree polynomials must have     .
The  are key to graphing a polynomial. They are points that you can connect that lie on the  . These  are also known as  to the  .
So, how do we find these  ? Simply, these points are where  . So, you simply solve the polynomial for  when  or  is  .
Usually,  cross the  straight through. However, there is more than one way that the polynomial can intercept the  . There are actually    that the graph intercepts the  . In the  , it passes straight through no problem. In the  , it goes down and touches the  and then rebounds off it. In the  , the graph sort of lingers around the interception point before crossing.
Why are there three types of intercepts? This is governed by a mathematical thing called  . Multiplicity is the number of times a particular  or solution appears. What if you ended up with the same  twice? That means that that particular  has a multiplicity of  . It  twice, and it therefore has a multiplicity of  . An  that   times has a  of  .
Let us look at the following example:
We could commence the normal procedure for finding  by setting the  equal to  and solving. However, we end up with  twice, which means we get the intercept, (  ,  ), twice. The  , (  ,  ) has a multiplicity of  .
here are three cases how graph might cross
1. Normally, an  has a multiplicity of  , or it    . When this happens, the graph simply passes straight through the  . It occurs once, so it passes through and continues along with the normal path that it takes.
2. If the intercept has an  multiplicity, meaning it occurs  ,  times,  times, etc., then the graph appears to touch the x-axis and then bounces off in the same direction it came from. The graph never passes through the x-axis, it simply touches it and goes back. As multiplicity increases, the valley will become flatter and flatter.
3.If the  has an  multiplicity, meaning it    ,  times, etc., then the graph kind of lingers around the interception point before passing through. The graph does actually pass through, but it is sort of delayed before actually passing through, like in the image. As multiplicity increases, the deflection becomes closer and closer to the  .
The graph of a polynomials of degree  ,  for some constant  is a  line or  is a  line . It has no turning points and its tails are flat.
The graph of a polynomial of degree  ,  ,with  or  is a slant line with   ,  points, and tails in opposite direction.
The graph of a polynomial of degree  .  with  (leading coefficient) is a parabola that opens  if  and  if  . The graph has  turning point. It can have  ,  , or   , those that are obtained by shifts, stretching or shrinking and reflections in the  negative (or  negative) axis from  . The function that is not shifted, like  , have graphs with tails in opposite directions, one  and no turning points. They are  if  and  if  .
