Answer:
x = -2, y = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
13(y + 6) - 6y = 22
=> 13y + 78 - 6y = 22
=> 7y = -56
=> y = -8
x = -8 + 6
=> x = -2
The entire shipment contains 9 2/7 tons of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Find the total amount of sugar in the entire shipment.
Number of containers in the shipment = 4 1/3 = 13/3
Number of tons of sugar = 2 1/7 = 15/7
⇒ Total amount of sugar = 13/3 × 15/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 tons
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation: 4^2 - 8 / (1+3) x 5 = 4^2 - 8 / 4 x 5 = 16 - 8 / 4 x 5 = 16 - 2 x 5 = 16 - 10 = 6
Let x represent the first number, y represent the second, and z represent the third.
x + y + z = 92
z = 3x
x = y - 7
Solve x = y - 7 for y.
x = y - 7
x + 7 = y
Fill in y and z so that we only have to worry about x for now.
x + y + z = 92
x + (x + 7) + (3x) = 92
x + x + 7 + 3x = 92
5x + 7 = 92
5x = 92 - 7
5x = 85
x = 85/5
x = 17
Solve for y.
y = x + 7
y = (17) + 7
y = 24
Solve for z.
z = 3x
z = 3(17)
z = 51
So x = 17, y = 24, and z = 51.
Decrease = initial price - final price
% decrease = [ (initial price - final price) / initial price ] *100
% decrease =[ (2.89 - 2.83) / 2.89] * 100 = 2.08, which can be rounded to 2.1
Answer: 2.1 %
