Let x=the first number
Then x+7=second number
And 4(x+7)+2=third number (2 more than 4 times the second)
Now we are told that:
x+(x+7)+(4(x+7)+2)=85 get rid of parentheses
x+x+7+4x+28+2=85 simplify
6x+37=85 subtract 37 from each side
6x+37-37=85-37
6x=48
x=8---first number
x+7=8+7=15 second number
4(x+7)+2=4*15+2=62 third number
CK
8+15+62=85
85=85
Answer:
15%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the regular price of the carpet.
Then:
sale price = regular price less discount
$374 = c - $66
Adding $66 to both sides isolates (solves for) c:
$374 + $66 = c = $440. This is the regular price.
$66
---------- = 0.15 This is the fraction of the regular price by
$440 which the regular price is reduced.
Then the percentage of this discount was 0.15(100%) = 15%
Answer: Choice [D] - "power of a power" ✅
Step-by-step explanation:
Hii, do you need to know which law you should use to simplify ?
No problem!
The law we will use here is "power of a power".
What "power of powers" means is we raise a power to a power, which is exactly what we do here: We raise x^4 to the power of 9. To simplify our expression, we multiply the powers. ()
So the right answer is: Choice [D] - "Power of a power"
The simplified answer is
Voila! There's our answer, cheers!
