Answer:
x = -30
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 7 from both sides ( 7+2/5x -7, -5-7 )
simplify ( 2/5x = 12 )
multiply both sides by 5 ( 2/5x times 5 = 5 (-12) )
simplify ( 2x = -60 )
divide both sides by 2 ( 2x / 2, -60 / 2 )
x = -30
Answer:
If your investment dropped 7% and then increased by 8% you will not be a percent ahead. The reason being is that the increase is a lower amount and the decrease was on a larger amount.
For example, if you have $100 invested. 100*.07=$7, 100-7=$93 remaining. 93*08= $7.44. 93+7.44=100.44 (a .44 increase from the original number). One percent increase from the original number would have $101.
