Can you please help me on -5(x+2)=-(-5x+1)-x

Mathematics
1 answer:
PilotLPTM [1.2K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute</u>

-5(x + 2) = -(-5x + 1) - x

-5x - 10 = 5x - 1 - x

<em>-5x - 10 = 4x - 1</em>

<em />

<u>Step 2:  Solve for x</u>

-5x - 10 + 5x = 4x - 1 + 5x

-10 + 1 = 9x - 1 + 1

-9 / 9 = 9x / 9

<em>-1 = x</em>

<em />

Answer:  x = -1

First the store raised the price of a pot by 20%. Then they announced a 20% discount on the pot. Is the customer going to pay mo
andrezito [222]

Answer:

less

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase of 20% makes the price 120% of the original price.

A discount of 20% makes the discounted price 80% of the previous price.

Original price: x

20% increase in price: 1.2 * x

20% discount over the raised price: 0.8 * 1.2 * x

Now we multiply the numbers in the last expression and compare the result with x.

0.8 * 1.2 * x = 0.96x

0.96 is less than x, so the customer pays less than the original price.

It will be a horizontal line:

y = a

Not an exponential curve

y = a(1^x)
