Answer:
$43.95
Step-by-step explanation:
15/100 × 293
= 43.95
So the equation looks like this : 15*3x=78
subtract 15 from both sides: -15 -15
then divide by 3 from both sides
to isolate the variable: 3x=63
3/3x=63/3
x=21 (your mystery number is 21)
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to find x such that ...
x^2 +(x +1)^2 = 61
2x^2 +2x -60 = 0 . . . . . simplify, subtract 61
x^2 +x -30 = 0 . . . . . . . divide by 2
(x +6)(x -5) = 0 . . . . . . . . factor; solutions will make the factors be zero.
The relevant solution is x = 5.
