Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
First we should do the first step: 7+2=9, The they lose 4 which then 9-4
which would equal 5
X=number looked for
we have this equation:
-52(x-14)=x+3
we solve this equation:
-52x+728=x+3
-52x-x=3-728
-53x=-725
x=-725/-53=725/53 ≈13,68
Solution: 725/53
To check:
the difference between 725/53 and 14=725/53 - 14=(725-742)/53=-17/53
-52 times the diference is= -52(-17/53)=884/53
The number plus 3=725/53 + 3=(725+159)/53=884/53
Move over 2 decimal places
This would be 38.4%
