Would it be distribution were you multiply the three in? -3(b-7) -3*b and -3*-7 where your answer would be -3b+21
If you need to do long division by hand put the top number of the fraction (numerator) inside the division bracket and the bottom number (denominator) outside, to the left of the division bracket. The fraction 1/4 becomes 1 ÷ 4. Complete the division to convert the fraction to a decimal.
The value of x is 40
Ps. Didn’t I answer one of your earlier questions?
Anyway here’s the working:
Answer: he saved $15
Step-by-step explanation:
The regular price is $5.00 per rose bush, but last week they were on sale at 2 for $8.50. This means that the amount that one would cost is
8.5/2 = $4.25
If Jim bought 20 rose bushes last week, it means that the amount that he paid for 20 rose bushes is
20 × 4.25 = $85
The regular price is $5.00 per rose bush. If he had bought at the regular price, the amount that he would have paid is
5 × 20 = $100
Therefore, the amount saved by the bushes on sale is
100 - 85 = $15
