Simplify 18 - 2[x + (x - 5)].

1 answer:

7 0

First, distribute what's inside the parenthesis, and change all the subtractions to addition of negatives.

18 + -2 (x^2 + - 5x)

Next distribute the -2

18 + -2x^2 + 10x

Then I like to rearrange stuff to put it in standard form.

-2x^2 + 10x + 18

In September, a greeting card company's total profit was 22% less than it was in august. The total profit for the two months was

Trava [24]

Profit for August: x
Profit for September: x - 22%x
Total Profit for August & September: $689,000

x + x - 22% x = 689,000

2x - .22x = 689,000
1.78x = 689,000
x = 689,000/1.78
x = 387,078.65

August Profits: $387,078.65
September Profits: 387,078.65 - (22%)(387,078.65) = 387,078.65 - 85,157.30 = 301,921.35

August Profits: $387,078.65

September Profits
$301,921.35
