Answer:
x = 1/2 or 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 4 = x +5 (1) subtract x
2x - 4 = 5 (2) subtract 5
2x + 1 (3) divide by 2
x = 1/2 or 0.5
If the price of an object drastically dropped 75%, then the dropped price is equal to 25% of the original price. That means that to find the original price, we have to multiply by the reciprocal of 25% (4). The original price would be $85.99 * 4 which is $343.96.
For this case we propose a rule of three:
31700 ------------> 8.8%
x ----------------------> 100%
Where "x" represents the number of copies sold to date.

Thus, to date 360,227 copies of the book have been sold.

Step-by-step explanation:
The inequalities resolve to ...
x ≥ 1 or x ≤ -3
You have chosen the correct placement of the lines on the number line. The "or equal to" symbol (≥ or ≤) means the dots at -3 and +1 are filled in, indicating those numbers are part of the solution.
If the ">" or "<" symbol is used in the inequality, the dot is left open, as in the answer you selected. The open dot indicates that value is not part of the solution set.
