Let the pension before increase be x.

When it was increased by 2%, that means became (100% + 2%) = 102% = 102/100 = 1.02

When the factor of 1.02 was applied it became £78.03

x*1.02 = 78.03

x = 78.03/1.02

x = 76.5

So the pension before the increase was £76.50 

Hope this helped.

Solve!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!! MKE BRAINLIEST!<br> 2x^2 - 28 = x^2 + 15<br> What is the answer!
padilas [110]

Answer:

x =  ± sqrt(43)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 - 28 = x^2 + 15

Subtract x^2 from each side

2x^2-x^2 - 28 = x^2-x^2 + 15

x^2 -28 = 15

Add 28 to each side

x^2 - 28 +28=  15+28

x^2 = 43

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ± sqrt(43)

x =  ± sqrt(43)
