To solve this, we simply need to remember our rules about order of operations. They tell us that first, we should distribute the 2 with the rest of the parentheses.

5-2(x-3)
5-2x+6

Next, we should combine our like-terms.

5-2x+6
11-2x

Seeing as we do not know the value of the variable, the simplest form of the expression is 11-2x.

Victoria wants to purchase a skateboard. She has $125 to spend. She finds one that regularly sells for $139.99 and is on sale fo
Pavel [41]

Well, to see if she can afford the skateboard, start by finding the discount and then finding the sales tax of that.

To find the discount, first find 15% of $139.99 and then subtract it since that's how much you're getting off.

<em>Remember: </em><em>to find percentage, convert the percentage into a decimal by dividing it by 100, and then multiplying it by what you're finding a percentage of. </em>

15% ÷ 100 = 0.15

$139.99 x 0.15 = 20.9985, which can be rounded up to $21.

$139.99 - 21 = 118.99.

Now that we have the discount, we find the sales tax, which can be found the same way as the discount, but we add it to the total instead fo subtracting it.

7% ÷  100 = 0.07

0.07 x 118.99 8.3293 or  $8.33

118.99 + 8.33 = 127.32

<em>This is the final total of how much the skateboard would cost.</em>

So:

No, she would not have enough money to buy the skateboard. With the discount alone, she could afford it, since $118 falls in her budget range, but with the added tax, it's 13 dollars over and she cannot afford the skateboard.

Jo's mother, Anne, is four times as old as Jo. In four years time, Anne will be three times as old as Jo. How old is Jo? (this i
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Jo's age = x = 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Jo's age = x

Jo's mother, Anne's age = 4x

In four years time, Anne will be three times as old as Jo.

Jo's age =3( x + 4)

Jo's mother, Anne's age = 4x + 4

How old is Jo?

Equate Jo's age and his mother's age

3(x + 4) = 4x + 4

3x + 12 = 4x + 4

3x - 4x = 4 - 12

-x = - 8

Divide both sides by -1

x = 8

Therefore,

Jo's age = x = 8 years

What are the steps on finding common denominators. PLEASE HELP
Dmitrij [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

to find a common denominator, you have to find a number that "works" with every other number.

for example, say you have

2/4 and 8/12

First you need to find the common factor between 4 and 12, so list all your fours

4, 8, 12, 16, 20

Now list all your twelves

12, 24, 36, 48, 60

to find the common factor you look at both your list of numbers and find one that's the same, sometimes it takes a long list of numbers to find the common factor, but you will run into one.

So by looking at our list we see that 4 and 12 share the common factor of 12. but since 8/12 already has a denominator of 12, we are going to leave it alone.

now think about what you would multiply 4 by, to get to 12. The answer is

4 x 3 = 12

to make the numerator correct, you multiply it by the same number you did 4, so since your faction is 2/4 you should do 2 x 3 = 6

now you have your answer,

2/4 and 8/12 turns into

6/12 and 8/12

and that's how you find it, let me know if you have questions :)
