Answer: -7.408%
Explanation: The formula for percent error is:
(experimental - theoretical) / theoretical * 100. The experimental value is 50, or your guess. The theoretical value is 54, or the actual value. The theoretical value is the value it should be.
(50-54)/54 = -.074 * 100 = -7.408%
8 ( 4 - x ) = 7x + 2
32 - 8x = 7x + 2
-7x -7x
--------------------------
32 - 15x = 2
-32 -32
----------------------------
-15x = -30
/-15 /-15
x = 2.
