1.5(x+4)-3=4.5(x-2)
1.5x+6-3= 4.5x - 9
1.5 x+3=4.5x-9
3+9=4.5x-1.5x
12=3x

Minny has two coupons, but can use one of them. The first one is for $5 off an item; the second coupon is for 20% off an item. T

joja [24]

Let's first solve for the $5 off coupon,

$28 - 5 = 23$

The final total is $23.00 with $5 off.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Now for the final price of the 20% off coupon,

$20\% = 0.2$

0.2 or 0.20 is decimal form of 20%. Easier to multiply than in percent form!

$0.2 \times 28 = 5.6$

$5.6 or $5.60 is 20% of 28, we're not done yet!

Lastly, subtract 20% off of 28 (5.6) from 28,

$28 - 5.6 = 22.4$
$22.4 or $22.40 is the final after 20% off!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Q. Which is less after the discounts??

$23.00 or $22.40

A. $22.40 of course which was the 20% off.

Part A : Which coupon should she use ?

Answer : Well, to get a lower price, less to pay, the 20% off coupon is better!

Part B: How much money will she save by using the better coupon?

Answer : $5.6 / $5.60 is the amount she'll save!

Solve for c.<br> a(c+b) = d.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

we assume that a is different from 0 otherwise there is not much we can say on c and then we can write

a(c+b)=d

<=> ac+ab=d

<=> ac = d - ab

<=> $c = \dfrac{d-ab}{a} =\dfrac{d}{a}-b$
