This equation can be written as
(v-8)(v+5)/ (v-8)(v-3)
= v+5/v-3
12000 = 2x - 1500
12000 + 1500 = 2x
13500 = 2x
13500/2 = x
6750 = x <=== original price
Answer:
The answer is,

Step-by-step explanation:
The given product is,

= 
---------------------(1)
Now, the first product to compare is,

= - 0.25 ----------------------------(2)
The second product to compare is,

= 0.5 ------------------------(3)
The 3rd product to compare is,

= 3 ----------------------------(4)
The 4th product to compare is,

= 
= 0.05625 -----------------(5)
Comparing all the values , we get (3) is closest to (1).
Hence, we get, the answer is,

Answer:
The choice three ;

Step-by-step explanation:

This is asking you to solve the equation ...
... 27 = 3^x
You can use logarithms to find
... log(27) = x·log(3)
... log(27)/log(3) = x = 1.43136376.../0.47712125...
... x = 3
Or, you can use your knowledge of small cubes and match exponents.
... 3^3 = 3^x
... 3 = x
