Answer: a. x=4 b. x=17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 5x/2+1=11
subtract 1 from both sides : 5x/2=10
multiply both sides by 2 : 5x=20
divide both sides by 4 : x=4
b. 2x/7-3=2
add 3 to both sides : 2x/7=5
multiply both sides by 7 : 2x=35
divide both sides by 2 : x=17.5
If im correct it would be -2(2)+4(-2)-5 which is -4-8-5 which would be -17
Answer:
67%
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost plus markup = selling price.
Here, the cost was $30 and the selling price was $50. Subtracting $30 from $50, we get $20, which was the dollar amount of the markup.
We now compare this $20 to the original cost ($30):
$20
------- * 100^ = 67%
$30
The markup, as a percentage, was 67%.
