Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Angle GHK is half of 120, so is 60. Then ...
3x +24 = 60
3x = 36 . . . . . subtract 24
x = 12 . . . . . . . divide by 3
Answer:
1. $450
2. $128
Step-by-step explanation:
1. new price = .4 (.4 * original price x)
72 = .16x
x = 450
2. new price = .75 (.75 * original price x)
72 = .5625x
x = 128
If you were supposed to find 40% of $24,850 then the answer would be $9940.
Y = 12x - 5x - 2
first simplify the equation by subtracting like terms (in this case):
12x - 5x = 7x
y = 7x - 2
Since you are finding the x, you must isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.(Note: because there is a equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other)
y = 7x - 2
y (+2) = 7x - 2 (+2)
y + 2 = 7x
(y + 2)/7 = 7x/7
x = (y + 2)/7
x = (y + 2)/7 is your answer
hope this helps
