Answer:
x 4 y 1
Step-by-step explanation:
5x4-2 is 18 3x4+3 is 15
Answer:
20 shares.
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting price paid = 30 * x
Ending price received = 12 * x
Loss = 360
Difference = 30x - 12x = 360
Equation
30x - 12x = 360 Combine the terms on the left
18x = 360 Divide by 18
18x/18 = 360/18 Do the division
x = 20 << Answer
He bought 20 shares of the company originally.
Simplifying
25x + -15 = 2y
Reorder the terms:
-15 + 25x = 2y
Solving
-15 + 25x = 2y
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 15 + 25x = 15 + 2y
Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 25x = 15 + 2y
25x = 15 + 2y
Divide each side by '25'.
x = 0.6 + 0.08y
Simplifying
x = 0.6 + 0.08y
