Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation can be derived from the question

let a represent the initial number Gus started with

{[(a x 8) - 12] / 4 } + 7 = 50

subtract 7 from both sides of the equation

[(a x 8) - 12] / 4 } = 43

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

(a x 8) - 12] = 172

Add 12 to both sides

8a =184

Divide both sides by 8

a = 23.

pickupchik [31]
The first discounted price is given through the equation,
                              discounted price = ($3.45)(1 - 0.20) = $2.76
Then, due to the privilege of being a Coles-Myer discount card holder, another 7.5% discount is given. Such that the final price would be,
                              final price = ($2.76)(1 - 0.075) = $2.553
The total amount saved up is equal to,
                                    $3.45 - $2.553 = $0.897

Factor the polynomial.
mrs_skeptik [129]
The coefficients here are 4, 32, and -24. The GCF of these values is 4.
As for the variables, the values are x^7, x^5, and x^4. The GCF is x^4
To factor this expression take out 4x^4 from each of the terms.
Coefficients should be divided by four and exponents should be subtracted by 4 since they have the same base (x).
The answer here is A.
