Percent increase is
100(new/old - 1)
Here that's
100(26/22 - 1) = 200/11 ≈ 18.2
Answer: third choice
The second equation has a slope of -2 and passes thru the point (3,-2)
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10
First, we need to to multiply out the parathesis in the equation:
5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10
5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10
Next, we can combine "like terms" to simplify the equation further:
5x + 2x - 8 = 5x + x - 10
7x - 8 = 6x - 10
Now we can isolate the variable "x" to one side:
7x - 8 = 6x - 10
x - 8 = -10
x = -2
To check our work, we can replace x with -2 in our original equation:
5x + 2(x - 4) = 5x + x - 10
5(-2) + 2 (-2 - 4) = 5(-2) + -2 - 10
-10 + 2 (-6) = -10 -2 - 10
-22 = -22
I hope this helps!
