Answer:
I believe its -800, but i'm not sure.
X= sales tax %
Step 1:
$240 * sales tax %= $12
240 * x= 12
240x=12
Divide both sides by 240
x= 0.05 (decimal of the %)
Convert to %:
Multiply decimal by 100 (or move decimal to the right two decimal places
=0.05 x 100
=5 %
The sales tax is 5%.
Hope this helps! :)
Solve for one of the variables in the first equation (in this case, I will solve for X):
X = Y + 3
Then use that value of X in the second equation to solve for Y:
X + 3Y = 9
(Y + 3) + 3Y = 9
4Y + 3 = 9
4Y = 6
Y = 1.5
Use the value of Y we just found in the X equation we created:
X = Y + 3
X = 1.5 + 3
X = 4.5
Therefore X = 4.5 or 9/2 and Y = 1.5 or 3/2.
Answer:
x=17, x=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Rearrange this Absolute Value Equation
Absolute value equalitiy entered
|x-5|-2 = 10
Another term is moved / added to the right hand side.
|x-5| = 12
Step 2 :
Clear the Absolute Value Bars
Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.
The Absolute Value term is |x-5|
For the Negative case we'll use -(x-5)
For the Positive case we'll use (x-5)
Step 3 :
Solve the Negative Case
-(x-5) = 12
Multiply
-x+5 = 12
Rearrange and Add up
-x = 7
Multiply both sides by (-1)
x = -7
Which is the solution for the Negative Case
Step 4 :
Solve the Positive Case
(x-5) = 12
Rearrange and Add up
x = 17
Which is the solution for the Positive Case
Step 5 :
Wrap up the solution
x=-7
x=17
Answer:
I take it you mean the average gallons lost an hour, in which case you would do 58,432.4 - 56,475.2 to get 1,597.2 to which you divide by 2 getting your final answer of 978.6
