Usually the easiest way to solve this is by using a calculator. Of course only if your teacher allows you too.
Answer:
x=1.277
Step-by-step explanation:
Not Available.
Answer: x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3x−x−1=15
3x+−x+−1=15
(3x+−x)+(−1)=15(Combine Like Terms)
2x+−1=15
2x−1=15
Step 2: Add 1 to both sides.
2x−1+1=15+1
2x=16
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
2x
/2
=
16
/2
x=8
Because it's decreasing, you use the formula (1-x/100)y with x the percentage decreased which is here 40, and y the number decreased which is here 90
So we get
(1-40/100) * 90
(100/100 - 40/100) * 90
60/100 * 90
5400/100
54
So 90 decreased by 40% is 54
Hope this Helps :)
