Answer:
C. Divide both sides of the equation by -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The goal of the equation is to isolate x. In order to do that we have to remove the '-2' by doing the inverse operation. That is the opposite operation, for example addition and subtraction, multiplication and division.
Since x is being multiplied by -2, we do the inverse which is division.
4/12 is 0.33% while 3/6 is 0.5% so 3/6 is bigger
To solve this you must use the rules of PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
First we have parentheses.
-4(3 - 1) + 2
3 - 1 = 2
-4(2) + 2
We have no exponents so go on to multiplication
-4(2) + 2
-4 * 2 = -8
-8 + 2
No division so go to addition
-8 + 2
When adding a positive number with a negative number you will act as if you are subtracting the two numbers, then take the sign of the largest number (disregarding the signs). In this case the largest number is 8 and its sign is negative. Your answer will have a negative sign.
-6

Answer:
<h3>(x - 0.15x) and x(1.00 - 0.15)</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original price of a lawn mower,
If the hardware store is having a 15% off sale on lawn mowers this weekend, the amount discounted is expressed as;
= 15 % of x
= 0.15 of x
= 0.15x
Final sales price = Original price - discounted price;
Final sales price = x - 0.15x
Factor out x;
x - 0.15x = x(1 - 0.15)
Hence the correct equations are (x - 0.15x) and x(1.00 - 0.15)
