Hello, there!
This would look like: x/5 - 68 = -95
First, we want to isolate the x.
x/5 - 68 = -95
+68 +68
x/5 = -27
Now, we will work backwards to find the x.
-27 * 5 = x
-27 * 5 = -135
x = -135
Your answer is -135
I hope I helped!
Let me know if you need anything else!

Recall that

. So we can add twice the first equation to the second one to get

Since

, we have

so

If

, then

If

, then

So the solution set is
-2a
Step-by-step explanation:
steps:1. first write the question again : 8ab/-4b
2.first 8 divide by -4=-2
3.write ' a' with -2because u don't have another 'a' down belowso that u can pair it up and cancel
so: -2a.
4. cancel 'b' on top and 'b' at the bottom.
We are given that a house had a value of $245000 and its value was increased by 9%. To determine how much is this value increase in dollars we need to multiply the value of the house by 9/100. We get this:

Therefore, the increase in dollars is $22050. Now, to determine the current value we need to add the increase to the previous value, we get:

Therefore, the current value of the house is $267050.
