Step-by-step explanation:
- Initial number = 17
- Final number = 10
<u>Decrease in number:</u>
<u>Percent decrease:</u>
- 7/17*100% = 41.18% (rounded)
Answer:16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be X
Twice the sum of a number and 5
= 2X+5
Three times the difference of the number and 2
= 3(X - 2)
Since Twice the sum of X and 5 is equal to three times the difference of the X and 2, This means
2(X + 5 )= 3(X - 2)
2X +10 = 3X - 6
3X -2X = 10 + 6 = 16
X = 16
Check
2×(16+5) =3×(16-2)
2×21 = 3×14
42 = 42
8x^2 - 16x - 15 = 0
x = [ -(-16) +/- sqrt((-16)^2 - 4*8*-15) / ] 2*8
= 2.696, -0.696
16 peaches were originally in the bag.
