Answer:
$44
Step-by-step explanation:
Use formula
% out of 100/100% = part/whole
20%/100 = 12/16+x
Cross multiply
(12)(100) = (20)(16+x)
1200=320+20x
Solve for x
1200-320 = 20x
880 = 20x
880/20 = x
44 = x

Usually, you create the inequality by casting the problem statement into mathematical terms. Then, solving the inequality can answer the question posed by the problem statement.
Example:
I want to carpet my 1600 ft² house, but I can only afford to spend $3000. Tax and installation costs are expected to add 20% to the total cost of the carpet. What price range of carpet should I be looking at in term of dollars per square yard?
Solution:
Let p represent the price per square yard of carpet. The problem statement tells me
(1600 ft²)×((1 yd)/(3 ft))²×p×(1 + 0.20) ≤ $3000 . . . . . created inequality
p×((1600×1.20)/9 yd²) ≤ $3000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify left side
p ≤ $14.06/yd²
I can afford carpet that costs less than $14.06 per square yard.
Answer:
A, B, C, and E
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x - 20
8x - 2y = - 20 (divide everything by 2)
4x - y = -10
-y = -4x - 10
y = 4x - 10
4x - 10 = 4x - 20
0 
-10

Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Tina's problem is
-16 - (-9)
Firstly let her open up the bracket
Note - * -= +
-16+9
Secondly, Rearrange
9-16= -7
Hence the answer is -7
