The original price of the shorts was $22.50. I used the calculator and started multiplying numbers by .80 (80%) until I multiplied 22.50 x .80 and it equaled 18. Basically you have to divide the percentage that the problem gives you, in this case 20, by 100 (20/100 = .20). Then find how much it lacks to have 100 (in this case it is 80), when you divide that by 100, you are left with .80. You then start to multiply that by numbers until you get your answer. I'm sure that there is a much simpler way to answer this math problem but this is the only way I can think right now of solving it. I hope this helps you!!

I need some help with this problem, I am supposed to solve for x

harina [27]

I havnt done that in a while but I think you do x+105=x+95 then you add your like terms which would turn into 10=2x then you divide 10 divided by 2 which is 5, SO YOUR ANSWER IS (I think) 5x

How can you represent all of the solutions to systems of inequalities?

Dimas [21]

Answer:A closed, or shaded, circle is used to represent the inequalities greater than or equal to (≥) or less than or equal to (≤) . The point is part of the solution. An open circle is used for greater than (>) or less than (<). The point is not part of the solution. Solving" systems of linear inequalities means "graphing each individual inequality, and then finding the overlaps of the various solutions". So I graph each inequality, and then find the overlapping portions of the solution regions.Step 1: Line up the equations so that the variables are lined up vertically. Step 2: Choose the easiest variable to eliminate and multiply both equations by different numbers so that the coefficients of that variable are the same. Step 3: Subtract the two equations. Step 4: Solve the one variable system.
