Answer:
£160,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Alice bought the house in 2008 for £x.
In 2014, the house sold for a 20% profit, so it sold for 1.2x. (* see explanation below)
In 2019, the house sold for a 5% loss, so it sold for 0.95(1.2x). (* see explanation below)
In 2019, it sold for £182,400.
0.95(1.2x) = 182,400
1.14x = 182,400
x = 182,400/1.14
x = 160,000
Answer: £160,000
* Explanation of 1.2 and 0.95.
A quick way to apply a percent increase or decrease to a number is to using the following method. The number you start with is 100% of the number. If you are adding a percent to it, then add the percent to 100% and convert it to a decimal. If you are subtracting the percent, then subtract the percent from 100% and convert to a decimal. Then multiply the decimal by the original number to find the increased or decreased number.
Example of percent increase:
A book used to cost £10. The price went up by 12%. What is the new price?
100% + 12% = 112% = 1.12
1.12 * £10 = £11.20
Example of percent decrease:
A pair of trousers costs £60. It is on sale at 35% off the regular price. What is the sale price?
100% - 35% = 65% = 0.65
0.65 * £60 = £39
Hey! :)
Some things to note: When you bring a exponent to the numerator, you make it negative.
When you put an exponent to another exponent, you multiply the exponents together.
so that is your answer, please let me know if you need more of an explanation. :)
Answer:
x= -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, add 3 to both sides, multiply both sides by -1, then take the square both sides.
The y intercept is when x is 0. So, we have to plug in 0 for x. You can do this in many different ways as well.
7(0)-4y=8
-4y=8
Divide both sides by -4.
Y=-2
So, the Y intercept is -2 (0,-2).
