Answer:
X= 20
Step-by-step explanation:
X+X+X+3-8 = 55 (Place Like terms together)
3x - 5 = 55 (Simplifying Like terms by adding and subtracting)
3x = 55+5 ( Move -5 towards Right hand side of equal as there is 55 which is like term of -5 and if we move any number or value from one side of equal towards other the sign of that value would change)
3x = 60
X= 60/3 ( Move 3 toward others side as there is like term of 3 which is 60 but as on Left hand side of equal sign 3 is multiplying with "X" so when we move any number or value toward other side the operation or sign of that value or number would be change, Multiply change into Divide and vice versa and Add change into subtraction and vice versa)
X= 20
Is 10 and 15 because they both have a value of .909
So, here we have an exponential function.
Remember that an exponential function has the form:

Where a represents an initial amount, and r is the rate of this amount to change. (Increase, or decrease).
So, given that the population of City A in 2000 was 40 thousand people and the population increased by 13% each year, we can say that

So,

For city B:

But something different happens with city C. This is not an exponential function, this is a linear function.
So,

Answer:
Original price reduced by 30%
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the deepest discount, which means you want the greatest percent/amount off. The first choice is 20%. The second is 30%. The third one is 25%, because you are paying for 75% (100-75). The second choice offers the deepest discount because it is 30% off.
