The sentence "15% of 4x is 20 less than x"
translates to 0.15 • (4x) = x – 20
Solving that…
0.15(4x) = x - 20 multiplipy 0.15•4
0.6x = x - 20 subtract x from both sides
-0.4x = - 20 divide both sides by -0.4
x = 50

Hello!
You put the numbers in for x
3/5^-2 = 2.777
3/5^-1 = 1.667
3/5^0 = 1
3/5^1 = 0.6
3/5^2 = 0.36
The points are (-2, 2.777), (-1, 1.667), (0, 1), (1, 0.6), (2, 0.36)
Hope this helps!
