Answer:
x = 3 and x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
2(5x - 3) = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )
5x - 3 = 12 ( add 3 to both sides )
5x = 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 3
(b)
5(2x + 1) = 50 ( divide both sides by 5 )
2x + 1 = 10 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
2x = 9 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x =
Here are two ways of doing it.
************************************************************
1) The current price is 100% of the price. The price went down by 6%, so since 100% - 6% = 94%, the new price is 94% of the original price.
94% * 175 = 0.94 * 175 = 164.50
The new price is 164.50
*******************************************************
2) The discount is 6% of 175, so first, we find the discount.
6% of 175 = 0.06 * 175 = 10.5
Now we subtract the amount of the discount from the original price.
175 - 10.50 = 164.50
The new price is 164.50

As you can see, both methods give you the same answer, 164.50
b, but I'm not sure. this could very easily be incorrect. you may need to look this up on google first.

All you do is measure it with a ruler and for every 1 cm you get multiply it by 8.5ft.
so for example if you got 6cm then you would multiply it by 8.5ft and your answer would be 51ft.
