Answer:
There would be a 56% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the amount of change before we can find the percent of change. We'll take the greater value, 78, and subtract the lesser value, 50. 78 - 50 = 28. We then take this amount of change and put it over the original amount, Percent of change = Amount of change/ original amount or for this problem, 28/50. We then use that as a division equation for 28 divided by 50. 28 divided by 50 = 0.56. Finally we move the decimal to the right two times and we can then find the percentage increase.
Probably the first one "multiply equation A by -4". In order to cancel them out out multiply the first equation by negative 4 and then you add both equations once you add both equations -4+4=0 so they cancel out.
52 4/5 is the mixed number form and the exact form is 264/5
Answer:
The number is -79.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up equation for the given information.
Let the number as 'x'
Negative 1 times the sum of one and seven times a number x could be written as -1(1+7 x).
Now, 6 times the difference of negative seven and a number could be written as
6(-7-x)
Now,
-1(1+7 x) decreased by 6(-7-x) equals 36
So, we can set up equation as
-1(1+7 x)-6(-7-x)=36
Solve the equation for x
-1-7 x-42+6 x=36
Combine like terms
-x-43 =36
Add both sides 43
-x=79
Divide both sides by -1.
x=79
