Answer:
=36
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of lack increased by 30%
new cost of lack will be = 100% + 30% = 130%
We are given that new cost = £65
Thus 130% of original cost = 65
100% of original cost = 65 × 100/130 = £50
Thus original price was £50
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
9x + -25 = 5x + 7
Reorder the terms:
-25 + 9x = 5x + 7
Reorder the terms:
-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x
Solving
-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
-25 + 9x + -5x = 7 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x
-25 + 4x = 7 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
-25 + 4x = 7 + 0
-25 + 4x = 7
Add '25' to each side of the equation.
-25 + 25 + 4x = 7 + 25
Combine like terms: -25 + 25 = 0
0 + 4x = 7 + 25
4x = 7 + 25
Combine like terms: 7 + 25 = 32
4x = 32
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 8
Simplifying
x = 8
Answer:
11, 13
Step-by-step explanation:
an odd number can be represented by 2n+1
since they are consecutive, the larger odd number will be 2n + 1 + 2
now,
2(2n+3) = 2n + 1 +15
solving this eqn, we get n = 5
so the two numbers are (2n+1) = 11 and 11+2= 13
