Answer:

x - 5 = x - 2 and

x - 5 = 2 - x.

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 5 may be positive or negative so we have:

The value of a rare baseball card A appreciated by 20 percent over a five year period; over the next five years, the value plumm

lbvjy [14]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>Percent value of A with respect to Percent value of B is,</u></em>

$30\%$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Let us say the value of the Baseball card A and B initially is = 100x

So, for Baseball card A in first 5 years percent increase = 20%

So,

Value after 5 years = 100x + 20% of 100x = 120x

<u>After 5 more years,</u>

Percent decrease = 50%

So,

<u>Value at the end of 10 years = 120x - 50% of 120x = 60x</u>

Now,

For Baseball card B, Percent increase in 10 years = 100%

So,

<u>Value of card B = 100x + 100% of 100x = 200x</u>

So,

<em><u>Percent value of A with respect to Percent value of B is,</u></em>

$\frac{60x}{200x}\times 100=30\%$

60 students study a language at a school.

nirvana33 [79]

The answer will be that out of 36 boys 24 speak french and 12 speak german and out of 24 girls 16 speak french and 8 speak german.

<h3>What is the frequency tree?</h3>

In the question we have that there are 60 students in total out of which 36 are boys:

So number of the girls will be = 60-36=24

Now if 2/3 of the boys speak french the number of the boys who speak french will be = (2÷3)x36=24

Now the number of the boys who speak german will be =36-24=12

Now since 40 students study french so we have the number of the boys who speak french is 24. so the number if the girls who speak french will be =40-24=16

Since there are 24 girls in total and out of them 16 speak french so the remaining girls speak german=24-16=8

Hence answer will be that out of 36 boys 24 speak french and 12 speak german and out of 24 girls 16 speak french and 8 speak german.

Answer:

Sheet metal costs <u>$20</u> per square foot.

Step-by-step explanation:

7.6x - 2.3x = 106

We are finding the value of x.

5.3x = 106

Divide both sides by 5.3.

x = 106 ÷ 5.3

x = 20
