Answer:

$200

Step-by-step explanation:

A mark down by 40% means the current price is 100%-40%=60% of rhe original price

If 60% represents $120 then the original price which was 100% should be represented by unknown value x.

Application of cross multiplication concept

If 60%=$120

100%=x

60%x=100%*$120

Making x the subject of the formula

X=100%*$120/60%=$200

Therefore, the original price was $200

Solve (x+1)2 = –5.

katrin [286]

Answer:

A) no real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

No real solution. in order to x+1 by itself you must square root both sides. that would mean square rooting -5 which creates an imaginary number. so there are no real solutions. Also cause even if x was a negative, when you'd square it, you'll always get a positive.
