The percent of change = ((new value - old value) / old value) * 100%

In our problem,

New value = 54

Old value = 56

Let's plug our numbers in

((54 - 56) / 56) * 100% = - 3.6%

The number decreased by 3.6%

18 – 12 + x = 10 What value of x makes the equation true? * explanation plz
Kay [80]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x - 12 + 18 = 10

Hint: | Group like terms in x - 12 + 18.

Grouping like terms, x - 12 + 18 = x + (18 - 12):

x + (18 - 12) = 10

Hint: | Evaluate 18 - 12.

18 - 12 = 6:

x + 6 = 10

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 6 from both sides:

x + (6 - 6) = 10 - 6

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

6 - 6 = 0:

x = 10 - 6

Hint: | Evaluate 10 - 6.

10 - 6 = 4:

Answer: x = 4
