Answer:
8. m=6
9. x=2; Alyssa is incorrect because she subtracted 8 from 16 when in reality she should have divided 16 by 8 to get 2. The real solution is 2 because 8 times 2 is equal to 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 8:
2m-6=m
-2m -2m (subtract 2m from both sides)
<u>-6</u>=<u>-m</u>
- - (divide both sides by the negative)
m=6
Question 9:
<u>8x</u>=<u>16 </u> (divide both sides of the equation by 8)
8 8
x=2
f(-9) means x is -9
Replace x with -9 and solve:
2/3(-9) - 6
Simplify:
-6 - 6 = -12
f(-9) = -12
Markup means they sell it for that percentage more than they bought it for. First let's calculate how much they will mark it up for:

Convert 87% into a decimal(87/100):

Multiply:

This is how much they'll mark it up, now let's add it to how much they bought it for to find out the selling price:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 TRUE
A number is always 100% Anyting bigger than 100% is going to be a bigger number
Anything smaller than 100% is a smaller number
2FALSE 5/100 = 0.05 and NOT 0.5
0.5% is the same as thalf of 100% = 50%
50/100 = 5/10 = 0.5
A³ b² 4ab³
Rearrange order:
4 a³ a b² b³
Now add up the exponents from same base:
4 a³⁺¹ b²⁺³
4 a⁴ b⁵
Final answer: 4 a⁴ b⁵
