<span> To find 55% of 120 books, multiply 120 x .55
Then add that answer to the original 120.</span>
120 + 55% = 186
(3x) + (x+60) = 180
4x + 60 = 180
Subtract 60 from both sides
4x = 120
Divide 4 from both sides
x = 30

Answer:
33% off is the better deal
Step-by-step explanation:
1.33 times as much popcorn for the same price is equivalent to 1/1.33 ≈ 0.75 times the price for the original amount of popcorn. That price is equivalent to a sale of 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 = 25% off.
The sale price of 33% off is a better deal (if you don't want the extra popcorn).

Answer:
-5 or 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells us ...
x^2 -35 = 2x
x^2 -2x -35 = 0 . . . . subtract 2x to put in standard form
(x -7)(x +5) = 0 . . . . . factor
x = 7 or x = -5 . . . . solutions are values of x that make the factors zero
The number could be either -5 or +7.
