Step-by-step explanation:

Inequalities are solved just like equations the only difference is that the inequality sign has to be considered.

We are writing the steps with reason

So,

1. Given

$-38-3(x+5)>6x-17$

2. Distributive property:

$-38-3x-15>6x-17$

3. Combine like terms

$-3x-53>6x-17$

4. Subtraction property of order

$-3x-53-6x>-17$

$-9x-53> -17$

5. Addition property of order

$-9x> -17+53$

$-9x>36$

6. Division property of order

$x$

a man buys a dozen cameras for $1800. He sells them at a profit of $36 each. Express his profit as a percentage of his selling p

Helga [31]

First of all, we need to deduce the price of a single camera:

$\dfrac{1800}{12}=150$

Now, we know that he profits 36 dollars from each camera. So, we are asking: which percentage of 150 is 36? We have

$36 = 150\cdot\dfrac{x}{100}$

This equation literally says: 36 is x-percent of 150. And we need to solve for x:

$x=\dfrac{36\cdot 100}{150} =24$
