Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you cannot subtract -1 from 4x, you multiply 2 × 4x = 8x
Now, you have 8x - 1 + 3 = 7
Seperate the 8x from the other numbers
8x = 1 - 3 + 7 ---> 6
8x = 6
Now simplify
x = 
<----- to reduce, divide the numerator and denominator by 2
Hence,
x =
Answer:
$11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take 20% and convert it into a decimal, which is .20. Multiply that percentage by $55 (.20 * 55) and you get $11, which is the answer.

(b)
Expressing as a fraction
( divide numerator/ denominator by 10 )
= ← in simplest form
Answer: 84.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
15.2 × 15.2 = 231.04 cm² (area of the entire large square)
5.98 × 5.98 = 35.76 cm² (area of the small square)
large square - small square = area of the blue region
231.04 - 35.76 = 195.28 cm² (area of the blue region)
= percentage of time that the point will be in the blue region
= 0.845 --> 84.5%
X + y = 62
x - y = 12
Move x over so y is alone in one of the above equations,
y = 62-x
Now substitte in y
x-(62-x) = 12
x - 62 + x = 12
2x = 12 + 62
2x/2 = 74/2
x = 37
Now for y sub in the x!
x + y = 62
(37) + y = 62
y = 62 - 37
y = 25.
So 25 + 37 =62
and 37 - 25 = 12
Method 2 :
Start by stacking the 2 original equations from above,
x+y=62
x-y=12
You want to "cancel" out one of the variable so,
x+y=62
+ + = +
x - y =12
So then you add,
2x = 74
2x / 2 = 74 / 2
x = 37.
Now you can once again sub it back into the original equation to solve for y,
x+y=62
(37)+y=62
y=62-37
y=25
Hope this helps!
