"If you subtract 17 from my number and multiply the difference by negative 4, the result is negative 92.
n= number
(n-17)*(-4) = -92
distribute
-4 *n - 17*(-4) = -92
-4n +68 = -92
subtract 68 from each side
-4n +68-68 = -92 -68
-4n = -160
divide each side by -4
-4n/-4 = -160/-4
n = 40
Julio's number is 40
Yes (my answer need to be greater than 20 characters long so...Ahhhhh). A way to help you is see it as 4.1 and 4.0 because the # after the 1 aren't that important
Susan would have to sell more than $69000 to make over 32,500 and less than $163000 to make under $41900
To calculate this you take the income she wants to make and subtract her salary
32500 - 25600 = 6900
you then multiply this by 10 to calculate the commission she needs to earn
6900 x 10 = 69000
Repeat this for the other side of the income scale.
It’s B
you want to get the x by itself on one side. so subtract 71 from both sides. 5x>=-85. divide both sides by 5, and x>= -17
There is not much that can be done to figure out how to write .15 as a fraction, except to literally use what the decimal portion of your number, the .15, means. Since there are 2 digits in 15, the very last digit is the 100th decimal place. So we can just say that .15 is the same as 15/100.
To change a percent to a decimal we divide by 100. This is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the left. For example, 15% is equivalent to the decimal 0.15. Notice that dividing by 100 moves the decimal point two places to the left.
