Answer
What is the question
Cause otherwise we can’t help
dropped $3 means "-3", increased $6 means "+6"
the price dropped twice so 2(-3) and increased once by 6
so, 2(-3) + 6 = 0
the change in price is $0
First combine like terms.
7+9=16
16+p=17
Subtract 16 from both sides of the equation.
16-16+p=17-16
p=1
You can check to see if the solution is true by substituting 1 into the original equation.
7+1+9=17
17=17
The quotient to this problem is 401.45
Just divide 8,029 by 20 to find the quotient.
