for solving equations such as this chrome would be the best thing n
6%=0.06
if you want to know how much he paid for the sales taxes you multiply 7.5 by 0.06
7.5 . 0.06= 0.45
7.5+0.45=7.95
8>7.95

Question 1.). Solve:
2 (x - 1 / 2) = 3 (5 - 2x)
Simplify both sides of equation:
2( x - 1 / 2 ) = 3(5 - 2x )
(2) (x) + (2) ( -1 / 2 ) = (3) (5) + (3) ( -2x )
Distribute:
2x + - 1 = 15 + -6x
2x - 1 = -6x + 15
Add 6x to both sides:
2x - 1 + 6x = -6x + 15 + 6x
8x - 1 = 15
Add 1 to both sides:
8x - 1 + 1 = 15 + 1
8x = 16
Divide both sides by 8:
8x / 8 = 16 / 8
Answer: 2 (x - 1 / 2) = 3 (5 - 2x) ==========> x = 2
Question 2.).
M =======> Amount Malik need
Solution: =========> m ≥ 5
Inequality ========> 8 + 7 + 10 + m ≥ 30
25 + m ≥ 30
Interpretation ==========> Malik needs at least, $5 .00 to get to, $30.00 or more.
Is the solution reasonable ===========> YES
Hope that helps!!!!! : )
The answer is 40.
1000/25 will give you the new ratio
Simple way of thinking about it
25 enlisted men = 1 officer
1000enlisted men = X officer
Cross multiply (25 by X officer and the 1 officer by the 1000)
25x = 1000
X= 40.
