Since $14 is the price after a 30% discount then $14 is 70% of the original price.
$14/70=x/100 (100% would be the original price)
1400=70x or 1400/70 = $20!
You can double check the work by taking 30% off the $20 (10% would be $2, 30% would then be $6) 20-6=14!
Equation at the end of step1: (7x + 18) (4) - 4x = 0 2 STEP2:Equation at the end of step 2 2 • (7x + 18) - 4x = 0 STEP3:STEP4:Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out like factors :
10x + 36 = 2 • (5x + 18)
Equation at the end of step4: 2 • (5x + 18) = 0 STEP5:Equations which are never true:
5.1 Solve : 2 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
5.2 Solve : 5x+18 = 0
Subtract 18 from both sides of the equation :
5x = -18
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
x = -18/5 = -3.600
Answer:
If you are doing subtraction with fractions you need to make a common denominator and subtract the numerators from each other
ex. 1/2 - 1/3
make a common denominator (or find the least common multiple)
3/6 - 2/6
subtract the numerators
take 2 from 3 and put that on top.
Solution 1/2-1/3= 3/6-2/6= 1/6
