x = 3y - 1

2y + x = x + 18


2y + 3y - 1 = 3y - 1 + 18

5y - 1 = 3y + 17

2y = 18

y = 9


x = 3(9) - 1

x = 27 - 1

x = 26

Dafna11 [192]
30*(100%+40%)
30*140%
140% as a decimal is (140/100) which is 1.4
30*1.4=42
42/120=0.32.

Ali should sell each can for $0.32

Hope this helps :)

Don’t know how to solve, help ?
yawa3891 [41]
I believe the answer is 88 because the 120 will create a straight angle which is 180. Then you do 180-120=60. This is the measure I the left angle. Now your answer will be 88

Sandra is a real estate agent and rams 5000 commission on the selling of a 62,000 house. what is the percent of commission she r
sveta [45]
To find a percent, you use this simple formula:
5000/62000 = x/100

In this case, x is going to be your percent of commission.

So, to find this, you first divide 5000 by 62000, which is about equal to 0.08.

Now your equation looks like this:
0.08 = x/100

Next, you multiply both sides by 100 to reverse the operation. Now, your equation will look like this:

8 = x

So, the answer is 8%.
