Answer: 27.44 % decrease in gas prices

Step-by-step explanation: First subtract 2.15 by 1.56 to get 0.59

then divide it by the starting value which is 2.15

0.59 divided by 2.15 is  approximately 0.2744

then multiply times 100 to get 27.44 %

hope this helps mark me brainliest if it helped

During a four-week period, you worked the following hours: Week 1- 36 3/8 hr; Week 2- 41 1/4 hr; Week 3- 40 1/2 hr; Week 4- 38 3
tankabanditka [31]
(36 3/8 + 41 1/4 + 40 1/2 + 38 3/8) / 4 = 

36 + 41 + 40 + 38 = 155
3/8 + 1/4 + 1/2 + 3/8 = 3/8 + 2/8 + 4/8 + 3/8 = 12/8 = 1 1/2
155 + 1 1/2 = 156 1/2

(156 1/2) / 4 = 
313/2 * 1/4 = 313/8 = 39 1/8 <===average is 39 1/8 per week

Do you think the equations (x−1)(x+3)=17+x and (x−1)(x+3)+500=517+x should have the same solution set? Why?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Those two pair of equations have the same solution set.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two equations  

(x-1)(x+3)=17+x ..... (1) and  

(x-1)(x+3)+500=517+x ...... (2)

We have to check the same solution set will be there for equations (1) and (2) or not.

Now, we are going to rearrange the equation (2).

(x-1)(x+3)+500=517+x

⇒ (x-1)(x+3)=517-500+x

⇒(x-1)(x+3)=17+x

This is the same equation as equation (1).  

Therefore, there will be the same solution set for equations (1) and (2).  (Answer)

There are two equations  

(x-1)(x+3)=17+x ..... (3) and  

3(x-1)(x+3)+500=51+3x ...... (4)

We have to check the same solution set will be there for equations (3) and (4) or not.

Now, we are going to rearrange the equation (4).

3(x-1)(x+3)+500=51+3x

⇒ 3(x-1)(x+3)=3(17+x)

⇒(x-1)(x+3)=17+x

This is the same equation as equation (3).  

Therefore, there will be the same solution set for equations (3) and (4). (Answer)

How to solve this equation 5x-4-7x=4
elixir [45]

Answer:

x= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5x + -4 = 7x + 4

Solving

-4 + 5x = 4 + 7x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7x' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 5x + -7x = 4 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 5x + -7x = -2x

-4 + -2x = 4 + 7x + -7x

Combine like terms: 7x + -7x = 0

-4 + -2x = 4 + 0

-4 + -2x = 4

Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + -2x = 4 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + -2x = 4 + 4

-2x = 4 + 4

Combine like terms: 4 + 4 = 8

-2x = 8

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -4

Simplifying

x = -4

Need help with my Geometry, can someone help me with 4,5 and 10?
xz_007 [3.2K]
For questions 4 and 5, use laws of complementary and supplementary angles to find values of x. I'm not too sure about what question 10 is asking.

Hope I helped :)
