The first and last choices are true.
Hi!
<h3>We need to isolate b on one side. </h3>
<em>Multiply by 4 on both sides. </em>
-83 * 4 = b/4 * 4
<u>-332 = b</u>
<h2>The answer is b = -332</h2>
<em>To check your answer, put in the value of b. </em>
-83 = -332/4
-83 = -83
<u>This equation is correct. </u>
Hope this helps! :)

Ambiguous expression. I think you meant:
3x + 7
<span>3x/(x+5)+7/(x+5) = --------------
x+5
There's no "answer." All you can do here is to combine the terms and simpify the resulting sum.

The original gross margin is (2.50 / 1.00) - 1 = (2.5 - 1) = 1.5 = 150%
the cost increases 0.25, is an increase of (0.25 / 1.00) = 25%
in order to keep the same gross margin, you need to increase the sale price by 25%
2.50*1.25 = 3.125
Then the gross margin is (3.125 / 1.25) - 1 = (2.5 - 1) = 1.5 = 150% ( same as original )
