*Answer:*
x = 5
*step-by-step solution*
= x·[2(x²- 4x + 4) + 3(x² + 6x + 9) - x² + 5x]
= x(2x² - 8x + 8 + 3x² + 18x + 27 - x² + 5x)
= x(4x² + 15x + 35)
Hello! The first thing to do is to find the amount of change by subtracting both numbers. 2.60 - 0.25 is 2.35. Now, we set up a proportion by doing change/original = x/100. With the values plugged in, it would be written like this: 2.35/0.25 = x/100. Cross multiply the values in the proportion. When you do, you get 235 = 0.25x. Now, divide each side by 0.25 to isolate the "x". When you do that, x = 940. The price of gas has gone up 940% since 1930.
Pretty good so far its hard also.
