There was a 20% decrease. To find the decrease, subtract the old number from the new number. (30-24=6) Then divide the decrease (6) by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. (6/30=0.2 0.2*100=20).
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 x =8
Multiply both sides by 2
x = 8 times 2
x = 16
Equivalent expressions are expressions of equal values
The equivalent expressions are 4x+ (y - 8y) + (2z-5z) +6 and 6x-3x-6x + (2y - 10y) + (4 - 8) + (z - 88z)
<h3>How to determine the equivalent expressions</h3>
The first expression has been solved.
So, we have the following expressions
4x−7y−5z+6 and -3x−8y−4−87z
<u>4x−7y−5z+6</u>
We have:
4x-7y-5z+6
Rewrite as:
4x+ (y - 8y) + (2z-5z) +6
<u>-3x−8y−4−87z</u>
We have:
-3x−8y−4−87z
Rewrite as:
3x-6x + (2y - 10y) + (4 - 8) + (z - 88z)
Hence, the equivalent expressions are 4x+ (y - 8y) + (2z-5z) +6 and 6x-3x-6x + (2y - 10y) + (4 - 8) + (z - 88z)

The first thing any good mathematician does is convert the measurements to the same unit as what the question is asking. In this problem, it states that the pool fills at a rate of 20 cubic meters per hour. Just keep in mind that an hour is 60 minutes.
The next step is to see how many cubic meters will cost $300. This can be done by dividing 300 by 10. This gets you 30 cubic meters of water.
You already know that 60 minutes is 20 cubic meters of water. That leaves the remaining 10 cubic meters of water. By dividing the rate given, you get that 30 minutes is 10 cubic meters of water. Add the 60 and 30 together to get 90 minutes.
It will take 90 minutes for the pump to use $300.
