Answer:
x = -3.25
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5 = 0.4
0.4x - 0.2 = -2(3/4)
-2(3/4) = -2/1 * 3/4 = -6/4
0.4x - 0.2 = -6/4
Convert to fraction
2/5x - 1/5 = -6/4
Add 1/5 to both sides
-6/4 + 1/5 = -30/20 + 4/20 = -26/20
2/5x = -26/20
Convert to decimal
0.4x = -1.3
-1.3/0.4 = -3.25
x = -3.25
Answer:
ratio is 5isto 4 byan action and drama
We know a or b != 0
but a-b==0 so both are the same unknown number
b/a must = 1
so
a/b is equivalent to b/a as a/b=1 as well.
So the last answer choice.
5p-4p-8=-2+3
Combine like terms
p-8= 1
Add 8 to both sides to isolate p
p=9
Final answer: 1 solution only, p=9
The final price is the cost plus the tax.
Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as
T = C(1+r)
T = what Graham paid = $87.45
C = cost before tax
r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40
Plugging in what we know
87.45 = C (1+.4)
87.45 = C(1.4)
Divide both sides by 1.4
C = $62.46
