Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Eliminate parentheses:
0.1x +18.8 = -4 +2x
22.8 = 1.9x . . . . . . . . . add 4 - 0.1x
12 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.9
__
2) Eliminate parentheses:
-16 +4x = 0.8x +12.8
3.2x = 28.8 . . . . . . . . add 16 - 0.8x
x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3.2
_____
<em>Comments on the solutions</em>
The expression we add in each case eliminates the constant on one side of the equation and the variable term on the other side. That leaves an equation of the form ...
variable term = constant
We choose to eliminate the smaller variable term (the one with the coefficient farthest to the left on the number line). Then the constant we eliminate is the on on the other side of the equation. This choice ensures that the remaining variable term has a positive coefficient, tending to reduce errors.

You can work these problems by methods that eliminate fractions. Here, the fractions are decimal values, so are not that difficult to deal with. In any event, it is good to be able to work with numbers in any form: fractions, decimals, integers. It can save some steps.
The rate of change is 4 so your answer would be D. 4
Answer:
10 people buy slushies and the price of each is lb. They have already spent w on food. How much did they spend on slushies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
20 percent
40 percent
20 percent
20(.008) percent
Step-by-step explanation:
6) 54 - 45 = 9
45 / 9 = 5
100 / 5 = 20
20 percent
7) 60 - 36 = 24
60 / 24 = 2.5
100 / 2.5 = 40
40 percent
8) 30 - 24 = 6
30 / 6 = 5
100 / 5 = 20
20 percent
9) 24.99 - 19.99 = 5
24.99 / 5 = 4.998
100 / 4.998 approx. = 20.008
20.008 percent (or rounded 20 percent)
