Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by (x-5) and expand:

(x+4)/(x-5)*(x-5) = -2(x-5)

x+4 = -2x+10

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x+4-4 = -2x+10-4

x = -2x+6

Add 2x to both sides:

x+2x = -2x+6+2x

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2

The number of apples in a box decreased from 150 to 135. What is the percent decrease of the number of apples in the box?

goblinko [34]

Answer:

10% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent change is:

$\frac{\textrm{New}-\textrm{Old}}{\textrm{Old}} \times 100$

Therefore, for this example:

$\frac{\textrm{New}-\textrm{Old}}{\textrm{Old}} \times 100=\frac{135-150}{150} \times 100=-10\%$

The negative value indicates that the change was a decrease. Therefore, there was a 10% decrease.
