$2.49 -------------------100 %
$1.99 ------------------- x %
-------------------------------------
2.49 : 1.99 = 100 : x
x = ( 1.99 * 100 ) / 2.49 = 79.9 %
100 % - 79.9 % = 21.1 % ( Decrease )
$1.99 -------------------- 100 %
$2.49 -------------------- x %
------------------------------------
1.99 : 2.49 = 100 : x
x = ( 2.49 * 100 ) / 1.99 = 125.1 %
125.1 % - 100 % = 25.1 % ( Increase )
The percents of change are not the same.
The greater change is during the increase of price ( 25.1 % > 21.1 % ).

find three consecutive integers for which 3 times the sum of the first and third integers is -342? show step by step
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

-58, -57, -56

Step-by-step explanation:

if the first integer is x,

the second integer must be x + 1 (because it's consecutive)

and the third must be x + 2

Therefore:

3 times the sum of the first and third integers is -342:

3 * (x + (x+2) ) = -342

Combine like terms in parentheses

3 * (2x + 2) = -342

Distribute the 3 to the 2x and the 2:

6x + 6 = -342

Subtract 6 on both sides

6x = -348

Divide by 6 on both sides

x = -58

x + 1 = -57

x + 2 = -56

-58, -57, -56

Check:

3 * (-58 + -56) = 3 * -114 = -342

What is the answer 5(x-4)=3x+4
ruslelena [56]

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the left side:

5x - 20 = 3x + 4

Move all terms containing  x  to the left side of the equation:

2x - 20 = 4

Move all terms not containing  x  to the right side of the equation:

2x = 24

Divide each term by  2  and simplify:

x = 12
