The two equations are equivalent.
The postage for 3 posters is $5.
Lois$ wrote an expression for the total they both spent as 6x + 10 6(25) +10
150 +10 = 160
Clark wrote another expression for the total, saying that it represented the same cost: 2(3x + 5). = 2(3x) + 2(5) 6x + 10 = 6(25) + 10 = 150+10 160
If each poster costs $25, do the two expressions give the same amount?

Answer:
percent decrease
26%
Step-by-step explanation:
Yesterday you ran 5 miles
Today you ran 3.7 miles
The amount went down, so the percent decreased
The percent decrease = (original - new)/original * 100 %
= (5-3.7)/5 * 100%
= 1.3/5 * 100 %
=.26 *100%
= 26%
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the number.
(x + 5) - 2x : the sum of the number and 5 decreased by twice the number.
or simplified without the brackets
x + 5 - 2x = 5 - x
it is not clear if you need the general expression showing both conditions (the first up there), or the then simplified result
5 - x
