SInce it is 25% increase, 25% of 100000 is 25000, so the answer is 100000 + 25000 = 125000.
We have an equation with parentheses. To make our lives easier, first get rid of the parentheses. We do this by using the distributive property.
It is used like this: a(b + c) = ab + ac.
Use the distributive property on the left-hand side.
3(x - 1) = 6
3x - 3 = 6
Now we have an equation that is easier.
The x variable is being multiplied by 3 and added to -3.
Reverse all of these operations with their inverse operation.
3x - 3 = 6
3x = 9 <--- I got rid of the -3 term by using the inverse of subtraction. Addition.
And I did the same for both sides to keep the equation true.
x = 3 <--- The inverse of multiplication is division.
So, I divided both sides by 3.
So, x is equal to 3.
-9(x) = -117
Solve for "a number" (x). Isolate it. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide -9 from both sides.
-9x/-9 = -117/-9
x = -117/-9
x = 13
13 is your answer

Answer:
10 years
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that One year after you buy a tree, it is 10 feet tall. Thus, it's initial height after 1 year is 10 ft.
Now we are told that each year after you buy the tree, it grows 2 feet. This means that it's height after you bought it was; f(0) = 10 - 2 = 8ft
Thus,
f(1) = 8 + 2 = 10
f(2) = 8 + 2 + 2 = 12
f(3) = 8 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 14
The pattern here is;
f(x) = 8 + 2x
Where x is number of years
Thus, for it to reach a maximum height of 28 ft;
28 = 8 + 2x
Subtract 8 from both sides to give;
28 - 8 = 2x
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10 years
