Answer:
i need this too
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you gotta simplify. There’s really nothing to simplify so just take it out of the parenthesis.
2x-8=2x-4
Now turn the -8 into a +8. Add it on each side.
2x=2x+8
Now turn the 2x on the right into a negative. Do the same thing you did with the 8.
Now it’s:
0 = 8
That means there’s no solution.
Hope this helped :)
Answer:the percentage decrease is 36.67%
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial amount of sugar in his diet is 15 spoons in a day. Currently, the amount of sugar in his diet is 9 1/2 spoons in a day. Converting to decimal, it becomes 9.5 spoon in a day. The amount by which he reduced his sugar intake is 15 - 9.5 = 5.5 spoons.
Percentage decrease would be expressed as
Amount by which the intake decreased/ initial intake × 100
It becomes
5.5/15 × 100 = 36.67%
