The answer to your question is: .75 = 3x - .03

How to solve it:

x = the cost of a pack of gum twenty years ago

.75 =  3x - .03
+ .03      + .03

.78 = 3x
 / 3    / 3         

.26 = x

If a pack of gum now costs 75 cents, which is 3 cents less than three times what a pack would have cost 20 years ago, then a pack of gum would have cost 26 cents.

Seven less than one-fourth of a number is 2. What is the number?
insens350 [35]

Based on the equation given, it can be deduced that the value of the number will be 36.

Let the number be represented by x

Therefore, seven less than one-fourth of a number will be:

=(1/4 × x) - 7

= 0.25x - 7

Now, seven less than one-fourth of a number is 2 will be written as:

0.25x - 7 = 2

0.25x = 2 + 7

0.25x = 9

x = 9/0.25

x = 36
