Answer:

49.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Number - x

2.5% of the number is 0.025x.

New number is  x+0.025x = 1.025x.

New number is 51.

1.025x = 51

x = 51/1.025≈ 49.8

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you mean -12(x+5)=-10?

Divide both sides by -12 -> x+5=10/12

Subtract 5 on both sides -> x=10/12-5 -> x=-4 1/6

So x=-4 1/6

Let me know if this wasn't the right equation
