Essentially, we must take 5% of $1250. When we drop the percent sign, we move the decimal 2 places to the left, giving .05. Then "of" means multiply. We take $1250 and multiply times .05, giving
<span>$62..50 </span>
<span>Another way to do it is to take 10%, or $125. </span>
<span>Then 5% is half of that. Half of $125 is $62.50 We can do that by dividing $125 by 2. I did it in my head. Others might do it on paper. Still others might have a calculator handy and say $125 divided by 2 on the calculator. We should all get the same answer unless one person spaces out or is tired. It happens!</span>

Hi there!

Find the value of 8 by substituting in -18 for g(x):
-18 = 2x - 8
Add 8 to both sides:
-10 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2:
-10/2 = 2x/2
x = -5
1a. The equation is x-35+x+5+x
