Let c represent the original amount that this guy had saved up.

He spent 25% of this amount, or 0.25c, on the printer.

To progress further, we have to know how much the printer cost.

Supposing that the printer cost $100 (which we do not know as a fact), this would be equal to 0.25c.

Thus, his savings originally amounted to c = $100/0.25 = $400.

The width of rectangle A is the sum of twice a number and 8. The length of the rectangle is 3 times as great as the width. If th

Galina-37 [17]

Formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)
let the number be x
width = 2x + 8
length = 3(2x + 8)
substitute respectively
96 = 2 (2x + 8 + 3(2x + 8)) open the bracket
96 = 2 ( 2x + 8 + 6x + 24) collect like terms
96 = 2 (8x + 32) open the bracket
96 = 16x + 64
collect like terms
96 - 64 = 16x
32 = 16x
divide both sides by 16
32/16 = 16x/16
2 = x
therefore, the width = 2x + 8 = 2(2) + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12.
and the length = 3(2x + 8) = 6x + 24 = 6(2) + 24 = 12 + 24 = 36.

Simplify 2x - 8x - 6y + 9 -14 + x + 11y.

raketka [301]

We can see that 2x - 8x + x = -5x
and -6y + 11y = 5y
and 9 - 14 = -5
so simplified, it is -5x + 5y - 5

If x = 2 than, 6(4x2)=48
-3(8x)= -24
It would equal 24
