of the price of a gallon of gas from 1992 to yesterday? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Subtract the old amount from the new amount: 2.08-1.21=0.87.
Divide the difference by the old amount: .87/1.21=0.719 or .72 or 72% :)

Answer:

The product of given two fractions is

$\frac{4(x+2)}{(x-1)(x+3)}$

Therefore $\frac{2(2+3)}{x(x-1)}\times \frac{4x(x+2)}{10(x+3)}=\frac{4(x+2)}{(x-1)(x+3)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is

$\frac{2(2+3)}{x(x-1)}\times \frac{4x(x+2)}{10(x+3)}$

To find the product of two given fractions as below :

$\frac{2(2+3)}{x(x-1)}\times \frac{4x(x+2)}{10(x+3)}=\frac{2(5)}{x(x-1)}\times \frac{2x(x+2)}{5(x+3)}$

$=\frac{10}{x(x-1)}\times \frac{2x(x+2)}{5(x+3)}$

$=\frac{20x(x+2)}{5x(x-1)(x+3)}$

$=\frac{20x^2+40x}{(5x^2-5x)(x+3)}$ (multiply each term in the factor to each term in the another factor )

$=\frac{20x^2+40x}{5x^3+15x^2-5x^2-15x}$ ( adding the like terms )

$=\frac{20x^2+40x}{5x^3+10x^2-15x}$

$=\frac{5x(4x+8)}{5x(x^2+2x-3)}$

$=\frac{4(x+2)}{(x-1)(x+3)}$

Therefore $\frac{2(2+3)}{x(x-1)}\times \frac{4x(x+2)}{10(x+3)}=\frac{4(x+2)}{(x-1)(x+3)}$

Therefore the product of given two fractions is $\frac{4(x+2)}{(x-1)(x+3)}$

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4(12x + 4) - 14= -1/2(8x - 16)

1. Simplify each side my multiplying

3x - 13 = -4x + 8

2. Add 13 on each side

3x = -4x + 21

3. Add 4x on each side

7x = 21

x=3
