The variable “x” can be defined as the price of regular gas.
The equation is x = x - (.02)7
x = x - (.02)7
(.02)7 = .14
x = x - .14
X - X = nothing so it just leaves you with -.14
The answer is that the gas price changed by a total of - 14 cents or -0.14
1.202
3/5 and 1/2 can be 6/10 and 5/10. then 0.1/2 is 0.05. for the other part, just plug 0.72 x 1.6 into a calculator.
ANSWER: -60
EXPLANATION: To solve for (-10) - |(-20) – (+30) |, we need to do:
−10−| −20 − 30|, which equals −10−|−50|. Next, we do −10−50, which is -60.
−10−|−20−30|
= −10−|−50|
= −10−50
= −60
Answer:
0<x<1
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+3)(x−4)<−12
FOIL
x^2 -4x+3x -12 <-12
x^2 -x -12 <-12
Add 12 to each side
x^2 -x -12+12 <-12+12
x^2 -x <0
Factor out an x
x(x-1) <0
Using the zero product property
x(x-1) =0
x=0 x-1=0
x=0 x=1
Check the ranges
x<0
x(x-1) <0
- * - >0
False
0<x<1
x(x-1) <0
+ * - <0
True
x>1
x(x-1) <0
+ * + >0
False
89 would be the correct answer
