If the unknown number is x then the equation is:
25x/45=-65
Solution
5x/9=65
5x=-65*9
5x=-585
5x/5=-585/5
x=-117
Let x = Initial Price
If we increase x by 5%, we are adding 0.05x
Therefore, the new price = x + 0.05x = 1.05x
If the ticket has increased by £2.30, £2.30 is 5% of the initial price, or 0.05x
0.05x = 2.30
x = 2.30/0.05
x = 46
Therefore, the price of the ticket before the increase was £46
You can also check this backwards by doing 46*0.05 = 2.30
Answer:
3x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
x+6/x+4+x-3/3
3x+6/4-3/3
3x+6/1/3
3x+6/3
3x+2
Answer:
what does that mean
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x+1) = 20
x+1 = 20/5
or, x+1 = 4
or, x = 4-1
so, x = 3
