Answer:

14x - 8 = 22 + 20x

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "the number" be represented by x

Take each part of the statement and translate into algebraic form

"14 times a number" 14x

"decreased By eight" -8

"is" =

"22 Increased by" 22 +

"20 times The same number" 20x

Put the equation together. Solve for x by isolating.

(

14x - 8 = 22 + 20x

14x - 8 - 20x = 22 + 20x - 20x Subtract 20x from both sides

-6x - 8 = 22

-6x - 8 + 8 = 22 + 8  Add 8 to both sides

-6x = 30

-6x ÷ -6 = 30 ÷ -6  Divide both sides by -6

x = -5

Identify the amount, base, and percent in the problem: What is 60% of 485?
IrinaK [193]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The percent in the problem is 60% (as it has a percent time).

The base is the number we start with, so it is 485.

The amount is the percent of the base. As a decimal, 60% is 0.6. So, we just multiply this by 485.

0.6×485=291

Therefore, the amount is 291.

AMOUNT: 291

BASE: 485

PERCENT: 60%

Have a wonderful day! :D
