Steps to solve:
5(x + 1) = 20
~Distributive property
5x + 5 = 20
~Subtract 5 to both sides
5x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5
~Simplify
5x = 15
~Divide 5 to both sides
5x/5 = 15/5
~Simplify
x = 3
Best of Luck!
Answer:idk how to do this im in 7th grade
Let the number be x. The other number is also x.
Given the first number is 24.6 and sum is -44.85
24.6 + x + x = -44.85
Combine like terms:
2x + 24.6 = -44.85
Add 24.6 on both sides:
2x = -44.85 - 24.6
Evaluate Right Hand Side:
2x = -69.45
Divide both sides by 2:
x =- 34.725
Answer: The two numbers are both -34.725.
To decrease this amount by 15% we must first find out what is 15% percent.
We can do that by multiplying the decimal of 15% by 120
15% = 0.15
0.15 x 120 = 18
So 18 is 15% of 120.
Wait! that's not the answer. We are asked to decrease by 15%
So 120 - 18 = 102
Your answer is £102
