Answer:
i think its 5 maybe not for sure but im feeling kinda stong about
Step-by-step explanation:
You take the orignal price of the video game and subtract the new price to see how much it was reduced. 60-45 = 15. then you take the reduced amount of the game (15) and divide by the original price (60).
you get 25%
your answer is B
Answer:
8 small tables
Step-by-step explanation:
they told you they have 5 large tables that seat 10 guests and 98 guests are coming. You need to subtract 50 from 98 because after you multiple how many guests can sit at each large table by how many large tables they have it equals 50 so 98-50=48 then you need to divide 48 by six because each small table sits six people so 48/6=8 so you need 8 small tables.
When calculating consecutive integers, the smaller number is x and the larger number is (x + 1).
So the equation you can use is x + (x + 1) = 5 + 3(x + 1)
This is because the sum of the consecutive integers are equal to 5 more than 3 times the larger integer.
Now simplify:
x + (x + 1) = 5 + 3(x + 1)
2x + 1 = 5 + 3(x + 1)
2x + 1 = 5 + 3x + 3
2x + 1 = 3x + 8
Now isolate the variable:
2x + 1 = 3x + 8
Subtract 2x from both sides:
1 = x + 8
Subtract 8 from both side:
-7 = x
x = -7
So the smaller number is -7 and the larger number is -6.
Now check your answer:
-7 + (-7 + 1) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 + (-6) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 + (-6) = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-7 - 6 = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-13 = 5 + 3(-7 + 1)
-13 = 5 + 3(-6)
-13 = 5 + (-18)
-13 = 5 - 18
-13 = -13
This works!
So the integers are -7 and -6.
