Answer:
its the option on the very bottom
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to calculate the percent off the sunglasses. So divide 26.97 onto 44.95, this will tell you the percent of how much it was costed. Then subtract that percentage from 100% to get the discounted percentage.
<span>Now use the formula;</span>
<span>x = original price of the Bathing suit </span>
<span>x divided by the percent discount of the sale = 28.95 </span>
<span>then use algebra to solve for x.</span>
Answer: x - 2 + 5 = x - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
At first I was confused. Then I read the question again and translated it.
Less than translated means - 2.
A number, aka X.
and means plus(+).
when you put that together you get,
x - 2 + 5.
The next step is to translate to second part of the equation.
Is means equals(=).
So far we have: X - 2 + 5 = 12.
<em>This is where I got confused...</em>
After solving that peice, we have the words; " 12 less than the number it's self. I wasn't sure if 2 x's could be in the same equation. Now I know they can.
Above, we established that 'a number' is x.
Now, it's talking about that number again because it says; "The number itself." At first, I thought it was talking about 12 - 12! Then I realized that it's not.
The new equation, after understanding that in the second piece isn't 12 - 12, would be none other than,
x - 2 + 5 = 12 - x
I hope this helps!!
I don't know why you'd need to estimate that, it is just 12,
if that's not satisfactory post the answer choices.
