The number is 6.25.

We will set up an equation for this.  Let x be the unknown number.  Subtracting 1.05 from it gives us

(x-1.05)

Multiplying the difference by 0.8 would give us

0.8(x-1.05)

Adding 2.84 to the product would give us

0.8(x-1.05)+2.84

Dividing the sum by 0.01 would give us

[0.8(x-1.05)+2.84]/0.01 = 700

We will start working backward, cancelling the division by 0.01 first by multiplying:

([0.8(x-1.05)+2.84]/0.01)*0.01 = 700*0.01

0.8(x-1.05)+2.84 =7

Subtract 2.84 from both sides:
0.8(x-1.05)+2.84-2.84 = 7-2.84
0.8(x-1.05) = 4.16

Use the distributive property on the left side:
0.8*x - 0.8*1.05 = 4.16
0.8x - 0.84 = 4.16

Add 0.84 to both sides:
0.8x - 0.84+0.84 = 4.16+0.84
0.8x = 5

Divide both sides by 0.8:
0.8x/0.8 = 5/0.8
x = 6.25

What is the value of x in the equation 8 + 4 = 2 (x minus 1)?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

x = 7

Explanation:

8 + 4 = 2 (x − 1)

Simplify both sides of the equation

8 + 4 = 2(x − 1)

8 + 4 = (2)(x) + (2)(−1) (Distribute)

8 + 4 = 2x + −2

(8 + 4) = 2x − 2 (Combine Like Terms)

12 = 2x − 2

12 = 2x − 2

Flip the equation

2x − 2 = 12

Add 2 to both sides

2x − 2 + 2 = 12 + 2

2x = 14

Divide both sides by 2

2x  / 2 = 14 / 2

x = 7

Beginning in 2000, a sports team increased its ticket price by a constant amount each year until 2010.
Natalija [7]

Answer: $33

Step-by-step explanation:

The ticket cost $48 in 2005 and $57 in 2008 , the difference between the cost is

$57 - $48 = 9

it is said that it increased at a constant rate , that is it increased by 9 in three years which means it will increase by 3 per year.

the difference in years between 2005 and 2000 = 5 years.

The cost in the year 2000 = 48 - 3(5)

= 48 - 15

=33
