Answer:

The algebraic expression is (P-0.15p) = 0.85p

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write an algebraic expression to model the situation at hand;

Original price p of an item less a 15% discount

What this mean is that we want to remove a 15% discount from the original price P

That term ‘less’ means we are subtracting

so 15% of p would be;

15/100 * p = 15p/100 = 0.15p

So 15% of P less P is (P-0.15P) = 0.85P

The width of a rectangle is (5x + 2) inches and the length is (6x − 7) inches. Find the area of the rectangle.
Degger [83]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>30x² − 23x − 14</em></u></h2>

Explanation:

  • Area = Length · Width

Length: (6x - 7)

Width: (5x + 2)

  • Create An Equation

(6x - 7) (5x + 2)

= (6x + −7)(5x + 2)

(6x)(5x) + (6x)(2) + (−7)(5x) + (−7)(2)

= 30x² + 12x − 35x − 14

  • 30x² − 23x − 14

15x - 18 = 2x + 16

15x = 2x + 34

13x = 34

x = 34/13

subtracting 1 from the product of 5 and x gives the same value as adding 10 to the product of 3 and x
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

x = 11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We would first put it in an equation

5x - 1 = 10 + 3x

We would first add 1 on both sides

5x = 11 + 3x

Then we subtract 3x on both sides

2x = 11

Divide both sides by 2

x = 11/2
