9  1/3 days

Step-by-step explanation:

  • If the total change in the size of the pencil is -7/9 millimeters. Then the actual change itself is 7/9 which is a positive value.
  • If each day the pencil changes by 1/12 millimeters, how many 1/12 millimeters are there in 7/9 millimeters. This is a division query;

7/9  ÷ 1/12 = 7/9 * 12/1 = 28/3

= 9 & 1/3 days

<u><em>Given:</em></u>

<em>During a sale, a store offered a 20% discount on a TV that originally sold for $710. After the sale, the discounted price of the TV was marked up by 20%</em>

<u><em>To Find:</em></u>

<em>What was the price of the TV after the markup? Round to the nearest cent.</em>

<u><em>Solution:</em></u>

$710 × (1 + 20%) × (1 - 20%)

$710 × 1.2 × (1-0.2)

$710 × 1.2 × 0.8

The area of a rectangle is length*width.

The length of this 3x and the width is 2x-3. This means that, to find the area, you need to multiply 3x and 2x-3.

Start by writing out this equation:
A=l*w

Then, plug in your given values:
A= 3x*2x-3 (you can also write it as A= 3*x*2*x-3)

Then, following the order of operations, you start by multiplying. This makes your equation become A = 6x^2 -3. (^2 means squared). It turns into this because 3 * 2 is 6 and x * x is x^2 and you still haven’t used the 3 yet.

After this, there is nothing more that you can do to simplify the equation. Therefore, the area is 6x^2 - 3.

I hope this helped!
