Let us suppose missing term is y
so it becomes - ( x-1) + 5 = 2 ( x+3) - y
let us now try solving it for x ( in terms of y )
-x + 1 + 5 = = 2x + 6 - y
-x + 6 = 2x + 6 -y
6 + y = 2x + 6 +x
y = 3x
y / 3 = x
but x is given to be infinite . let us try placing y= the given options
x= x/3 which is not possible
x= 3x/3 which is giving valid statement
x= 1/3 which is a finite value
x= 5/3 again a finite value
so it is only y= 3x which could be the answer
Answer : option second that is 3x
Answer:
$1.95
Step-by-step explanation:
notebook = n
pencil = p
3n + 2p = 5.10
2n + 3p = 4.65
multiply top equation by 2 and bottom by 3
6n + 4p = 10.20
6n +9p = 13.95
subtract bottom equation from the top equation
-5p = -3.75
divide by 5, negatives cancel out
p = 0.75
sub p into either equation, I chose the original top equation
3n + 2(0.75) = 5.10
3n + 1.50 = 5.10
subtract 1.50 from both sides
3n = 3.60
divide both sides by 3
n = 1.20
p = 0.75
n + p = 1.95 (the fourth option)
Question:
Which of the following options have the same value as 65% of 20?
Choose 2 answers:
(A) 0.65⋅20
(B) 65/100 divided by 20
(C) 65/20 * 100
(D) 65 * 20
Answer:
Option A has the same value as 65% of 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the value of 65% of 20




Thus 65% of 20 is 13
Now ,
<u>Solving Option A</u>
=> 
=> 13
<u>Solving Option B</u>
=> 65/100 divided by 20
=>
=>
=>0.0325
<u>Solving Option C</u>
=>65/20 * 100
=>
=>
=>325
<u>Solving Option D</u>
=> 65 * 20
=>
=> 1300
25% is a fourth of something so first round $34.99 to about $35 and just get one fouth of it which would be a little less than $9 but if you put it into the calculator it will tell you that it is about $8.75 (to calculate using the calculator you need to chane the percentage to a decimal and multiply it)
<u>Answer:
</u>
The population of a city has decreased by 38% since it was last measured. If the current population is 27,900 .Previous population of city was 45000.
<u>
Solution:
</u>
Given that current population of city is 27900.
Also, population of a city has decreased by 38% since it was last measured.
Let assume that population of city when it was last measured = x
Decreased of 38% means x-38% of x . we can write this as,



So current population is 
Equating above expression to the given value of current population, we get


x=45000
Hence previous population of city was 45000.
