Hey You!
132*42% = 55.44
132 - 55.44 = 76.56
So, the Millers paid $55.44 for gas and $76.56 for electricity.
Answer:
t = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Instead of randomly guessing values of "t" that will satisfy the equation, you can easily find the correct value by solving the equation in terms of "t". In other words, you can set the equation equal to "t" to find the final answer.
(-2/3)t - 2 = -3 <----- Original equation
(-2/3)t = -1 <----- Add 2 to both sides
t = 3/2 <----- Divide both sides by -2/3
You can check this value by plugging it into "t" and determining whether both sides of the equations will be equal.
(-2/3)t - 2 = -3 <----- Original equation
(-2/3)(3/2) - 2 = -3 <----- Plug 3/2 into "t"
-6/6 - 2 = -3 <----- Multiply -2/3 and 3/2
-1 - 2 = -3 <----- Simplify -6/6
-3 = -3 <----- Subtract
2x^2-4=124 is the correct answer.
It is adding one little percentage of increase here. or, 1.1 each time....hope that this helps.
First, multiply $3 by 4 to get $12 spent on cookies. Then, you multiply $12 by 2 to know that the pies cost $24. You then divide the $24 by 3 to get $6 per pie. Meaning, each pie had cost $6. You add the $12 and $24 together to get $36. Finally, you subtract $36 from $40 to know that she only has $4 left.
