$Steps:$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}25\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}, 25-5x-25=80-25$

$\mathrm{Simplify},-5x=55$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-5,\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{55}{-5}$

$Simplify, x=-11$

The correct answer is B. -11

over a period of ten years Pats income rose from 15000 to 20000 round to the nearest whole number by what percentage did her inc

ludmilkaskok [199]

Original Income = 15,000
New income = 20,000

The percentage Increase in the income can be calculated as:

$\frac{Change}{Original} * 100$ %

The change in income = 20000 - 15000 = 5000

Using the values, we get:

$\frac{5000}{15000}*100$ %

= $33.33$ %

This means, Pats income increased by 33.33% in a period of ten years

Question: is 1 > 0.99999999...? Prove algebraically.

Crazy boy [7]

No. We claim that $1=0.\overline{9}$ and use algebra to prove the statement.

Let $x=0.\overline{9}$ . Multiply this by ten to get $10x=9.\overline{9}$ . Subtract the initial equation to give $9x=9$ and divide by $9$ to see that $x=1$ . Substituting into the original equation gives $1=0.\overline{9}$ , proving the desired statement.
