4x - 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4) Given
(4x - 2x) + 8 = 6(x + 4)
2x + 8 = 6(x + 4) Combine like terms
2x + 8 = (6)(x) + (6)(4)
2x + 8 = 6x + 24 Distributive Property
2x - 6x + 8 = 6x - 6x + 24
-4x + 8 = 24 Subtraction Property of Equality
-4x + 8 - 8 = 24 - 8
-4x = 16 Subtraction Property of Equality
-4x : (-4) = 16 : (-4)
x = -4 Division Property of Equality
The two factors are 2 and p=10 so I used your equations and
25% is the precent decease
C and D are the correct answers
<span>a) Did more than half of the applicants get an interview?
No
Half is 48/2 = 24. So 22 is less than half
</span><span>b. What percent of the applicants got an interview? Round to the nearest whole percent
22/48 x 100 = 46%</span>
