Answer:
x = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 1) = - 2(x - 1) - 4 ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
3x + 3 = - 2x + 2 - 4
3x + 3 = - 2x - 2 ( add 2x to both sides )
5x + 3 = - 2 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
5x = - 5 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = - 1
Answer:
75% off
Step-by-step explanation:
I would personally say use a calculator, but whatever your instructor says.
First, do $600 off. You could also do 75% off first, but you choose. If you subtract $600 from $868, you get $268.
Next, do 75% off. If you take 100% - 75%, you get 25%, or 1/4. Multiply $868 by 1/4 and you get $217, which is the better deal.
So, to conclude, $217 is less than $268, and therefore 75% off is the better deal.
It's x>2. I hope this helps you out.
