Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2 = 3x + 4(2x - 1)

Distribute the 4

5x + 2 = 3x + 8x - 4

Combine like terms

5x + 2 = 11x - 4

Subtract 5x from each side

5x -5x + 2 = 11x - 5x - 4

2 = 6x-4

Add 4 to each side

2+4 = 6x-4+4

6 = 6x

Divide each side by 6

6/6 =6x/6

1= x

A sweater that regularly sold for $52 id now on sale at 30% off. what is the sale price?

pochemuha

Since the sweater is now 30% off, that means it is selling for 70% of it's original price ( 100% - 30% = 70%).

Multiply the original price by 70%:

52 x 0.70 = 36.40

The sale price is $36.40
