For this case we have the following expression:
From here, we must clear the value of a.
We then have the following steps:
Place the terms that depend on a on the same side of the equation:
Do common factor "a":
Clear the value of "a" by dividing the factor within the parenthesis:
Answer:
The clear expression for "a" is given by:
Answer: 24%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are informed that the Girl Scout Troop started with 25 girls and at the end of the year party there were 31 girls. The percentage change will be:
= (31 - 25) / 25 × 100
= 6/25 × 100
= 24%
The error that Gabby made was that she used 31 as the base. This is expressed below:
= 31 - 25) / 31 × 100
= 6/31 × 100
= 19.4%
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 4 = 5x - 8
==> add 8 to both sides
in doing so we get 3x + 4 + 8 = 5x - 8 + 8
the -8 and the +8 cancels out and 4 + 8 = 12
we are left with 3x + 12 = 5x
==> subtract 3x from both sides
in doing so we get 3x - 3x + 12 = 5x - 3x
the 3x and -3x cancel out and 5x - 3x = 2x
we are left with 12 = 2x
==> divide both sides by 2
in doing so we get 12/2 which equals 6 and 2x/2x which leaves us with
6 = x
The first has value 2500*(1+.05*9)=3625. The second, similarly, has value 4160, and the third, 3400. Thus, the order, from least to greatest, is third, first, second.
