Multiply by -8 on both sides and you will get w=-48
The price:
- last year: $2.25
- this year: $.45
The decrease: $2.25 - $.45 = $1.80
2.25 : 1.80 = 100 : x
2.25 x = 180
x = 180 : 2.25
x = 80
Answer:
The percent of decrease is A ) 80%
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2(8−12x)+8x=−25x+52
(2)(8)+(2)(−12x)+8x=−25x+52(Distribute)
16+−24x+8x=−25x+52
(−24x+8x)+(16)=−25x+52(Combine Like Terms)
−16x+16=−25x+52
−16x+16=−25x+52
Step 2: Add 25x to both sides.
−16x+16+25x=−25x+52+25x
9x+16=52
Step 3: Subtract 16 from both sides.
9x+16−16=52−16
9x=36
Step 4: Divide both sides by 9.
9x/9 = 36/9
x = 4
The answer is 1/4
Explanation
===============================
The question focuses on "if the student is known to be a boy..." we would obviously know that we would focous on only the total of the boys.
We have the formula for the probability of an event of happening which we would call event A (a boy being left-handed). P(A)= number of favorable outcomes/ total number of possible outcomes. The left-handers would go in the favorable outcomes since we want the probability of a boy being left handed and we would place the total boys in the total number of possible outcomes since all of them are going to be the one to be randomly picked. 50 left-handed/ 200 total boys. We have our fraction that is 50/200 as the probability but we can simplify it! We simplify 50/200 to get 1/4!!! 1/4 is the probability of a boy being picked that is left-handed!
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Pull out like factors :
-3x - 6 = -3 • (x + 2)
Solve : -3 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solve : x+2 = 0
Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation :
x = -2
