Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
If RS=TV
5x-9=2x+3
5x-2x=3+9
3x=12
x=4
RS is 5x-9
5(4)-9
20-9

Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 
Using PEDMAS rule to solve it.
Now, simplifying:
We first open parenthesis which is (-7) = -7
= 
Now, we evaluate the exponent which is 
Next, we divide -36 by 12 to get -3
= 
Next, we multiply -2 and -7 to get 14
= 
Lastly, we add -3 and 14 to get 11
= 
∴ Answer is 11
<h3>Answer: Net Increase of 26%</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
If it increases by 5%, then we use the multiplier 1.05
Think of it like saying 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05
Similarly, an increase of 20% means we involve 1.20
Combine those multipliers to get: 1.05*1.20 = 1.26
This is a net increase of 26%
Interestingly, we get fairly close to 25% which is what many students might go for (since 5 + 20 = 25). This is a beginner's trap.
----------------
An example:
Let's say the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)
An increase of 5% means it moves to 1.05*20 = 21 degrees C
A 20% increase means we go to 1.20*21 = 25.2 degrees C
The shortcut would be to do a 26% increase to get 1.26*20 = 25.2 to help confirm we have the correct combined increase.
89.01 is the less equality of the center value of the question
