Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
if you can use negative numbers then you could use 21 and -15
so
adding them together is 21 + (-15) = 6
and then subtracting 21 - (-15) =
21 + 15 = 36
do you think that would work ? :/
Answer:
1st question: M=22.62 while C=75.38
2nd question: M=.22 while C=1.97
Step-by-step explanation:
If a mirror costing x dollars is marked up 30%, then we have to find x such that 30%x+x is 98 dollars.
We are solving:
.3x+x=98
Combine like terms:
1.3x=98
Divide both sides by 1.3:
x=75.38
M=98-75.38=22.62
C=75.38
So M=22.62 while C=75.38.
If ream of paper cost x and is marked up 11%, then we have to find x such that 11%x+x is 2.19.
We are solving:
.11x+x=2.19
1.11x=2.19
x=1 97
M=2.19-1.97=.22
So M=.22 while C=1.97
Answer:
3x - 20 = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The word is signals the equal sign.
The difference of three times a number and 20 = 13
2. The word difference signals subtraction.
3. The phrase a number sigals that the number is unknown, so a variable should be used. In this case, I'll use x.
4. Three times that number = 3x.
The difference = subtraction.
3x-20=13
I'm assuming we have to solve for "p" here...
By making an equation, we will get...
(p/4)-4=10
Add four on both sides...
(p/4)=14
Remove parentheses and multiply by four on both sides.
p=56
