Answer: $30,000
Step-by-step explanation:
If Mr. Inahurry had a 10% loss, it means that he paid X for the house and only got back 90% (100% - 10%) of what he paid.
This way X . 90% = 27,000
X . 0.90 = 27,000
X = 27,000/0.9
X = 30,000
Counter-proof: 30,000 . 10% = 30,000 . 0.10 = 3,000
30,000 - 3,000 = 27,000
We can set up the width a X and, from the description the length would be 3X-1. The perimeter of a rectangle is determined by 2XL + 2Xw. Plugging into the equation 2(3X-1) + 2(X) = 118. Next distribute to get 6X-2 + 2X = 118. Combine like terms to get 8X = 120. Divide by 8 to get X = 15. The width is 15. The length is 3(15)-1 or 44. 88 +30 = 118
From -4 to 1 (range equals the y values)
