First, lets convert them into multipliers:
The multiplier for a:
25% increase = 1.25
40% decrease = 0.6
40% increase = 1.4
Now to work out the overall percentage change, we just times all of the multipliers together, and convert it back to a percentage:
1.25 x 0.6 x 1.4 = 1.05
So the overall multiplier is 1.05
And a multiplier of 1.05 = a <u>5% increase</u>.
That means that the percentage change is + 5%

Answer:
7l=2l+r
Step-by-Step explanation:
3x+7=-x-1
move -x to the other side
sign changes from -x to +x
3x+x+7=-x+x-1
3x+x+7=-1
4x+7=-1
move 7 to the other side
sign changes from +7 to -7
4x+7-7=-1-7
4x=-8
Divide by 4 for both sides
4x/4=-8/4
Answer: x=-2
I believe it's C E.
They both look pretty equal and line up perfectly with E. Hope this helps!
