Answer:
The percentage decrease is 15%.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent decrease of any two numbers, subtract the numbers and divide it by the original.
So in this case:
20-17÷20
= 3÷20
= 0.15
Now convert to a percent.
0.15×100 = 15%
X + x - x is x
y + y + y is 3y
-z + z - z is -z
x + 3y
(-6) + 3 = -3 ;
The negative integer is -6; the positive integer is 3.
I believe that you would just multiply 2.35*5 and that would be your answer.
=11.75
Hey there!
Let's write an equation given this information. We will use x to represent the number.
2(x-7)=5
Now, we use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.
2x-14=5
Now, we add 14 to both sides.
2x=19
We divide both sides by 2.
x=9.5
Therefore, our number is 9.5
I hope this helps!
