Answer
C
You just reverse the way you read the question.
<span>3(2t + 5) = 5t + 25
6t + 15 = 5t + 25
6t - 5t = 25 - 15
t = 10</span>
To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.
1. We assume, that the number 112 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 112 is 100%, so we can write it down as 112=100%.
4. We know, that x is 200% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=200%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 112=100%
2) x=200%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
112/x=100%/200%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for what is 200% of 112
112/x=100/200
(112/x)*x=(100/200)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
112=0.5*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.5) to get x
112/0.5=x
224=x
x=224
now we have:
200% of 112=224
●I tried my best I was never good with percentages my least favorite.... Please let me know if you got it wrong. If you do I'm sorry.
2x-y=-8
+
y=2
2x=-6
x=-3
2*-3-y=-8
-6-y=-8
-y=-2
x=-3 and y=2
