To decrease this amount by 15% we must first find out what is 15% percent.

We can do that by multiplying the decimal of 15% by 120

15% = 0.15

0.15 x 120 = 18

So 18 is 15% of 120.

Wait! that's not the answer. We are asked to decrease by 15%

So 120 - 18 = 102

Your answer is £102

Jose equation is -4(x+2) = 8x+16 says to jill “I can solve for the variable in this equation in at least 4 different ways

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

that is step 1 and step 2 and step3

step 4

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−4(x+2)=8x+16

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−4(x+2)=8x+16

(−4)(x)+(−4)(2)=8x+16(Distribute)

−4x+−8=8x+16

−4x−8=8x+16

Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.

−4x−8−8x=8x+16−8x

−12x−8=16

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

−12x−8+8=16+8

−12x=24

Step 4: Divide both sides by -12.

−12x

−12

x=−2

Answer:

x=−2
