You probably have done something like this and are confused by the directions.
Step One
Write down the equation and the givens.
P = 425
x is what you are trying to isolate.
P = 25x - (10x + 250)
Step Two
Remove the brackets on the right.
P = 25x - 10x - 250 Notice all those minus signs. The one on the outside of the brackets gets distributed just as thought there was a (say) - 5
Step Three
Collect the like terms on the right.
P = 15x - 250
Step Four
This really doesn't require a separate step, but I should have done it at the beginning. Put in P = 425
425 = 15x - 250
Step 5
Add 250 to both sides.
425 + 250 = 15x
675 = 15x
Step Six
divide by 15
675 / 15 = x
45 = x

Answer:
81.25%
Step-by-step explanation:
58-32=26
26/32=0.8125
0.8125x100=81.25
Sorry I'm not that good at explaining but here is something that helped me.
Perpendicular is when the slopes multiply to negative 1
remember
the slope of the line in form
ax+by=c is -a/b
find slopes
2x+ky=6
slope is -2/k
6x-4y=12
slope is -6/-4=3/2
so
-2/k times 3/2=-1
solve for k
-6/(2k)=-1
times both sides by 2k
-6=-2k
divide by -1
3=k
k has to be 3
The answer is bold
-34(x+2)=6
x= -37/17
Steps
-34(x+2)=6
-34x-68=6
-34x=6+68
-34=74
<span>x=-37/17</span>
Alternative form is
x=-2 3/17 x = 2.17647
