Half = 0.5
x-the number
<span>Ten times the sum of half a number and 6 is 8:
10 · (0.5x + 6) = 8 |use distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
5x + 60 = 8 |subtract 60 from both sides
5x = -52 |divide both sides by 5
<span>x = -10.4</span></span>
Answer:
y - 1 = - 4(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Here m = - 4 and (a, b) = (- 3, 1), thus
y - 1 = - 4(x - (- 3)), that is
y - 1 = - 4(x + 3)
Suppose the original price to be x.
62%x=296.4
Divide both sides by 62% to get x=478, which is the original price.
Plug your number
5(7) + 5^2/5
35+25/5
60/5
12
