Simplifying the algebraic expression: $8y-2(y+4)$ we get $6y-8$

So, Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the algebraic expression: $8y-2(y+4)$

Solving:

$8y-2(y+4)\\=8y-2y-8\\Adding\,\,like\,\,terms\\=6y-8$

So, simplifying the algebraic expression: $8y-2(y+4)$ we get $6y-8$

So, Option A is correct.

Answer:

$\boxed{x = 7, y = 9, z = 68}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We must develop three equations in three unknowns.

I will use these three:

$\begin{array}{lrcll}(1) & 8x + 13y +7 & = & 180 & \\(2)& 9x - 7 + 13y +7 & = & 180 & \\(3)& 8x + 5y - 11 + z & = & 180 &\text{We can rearrange these to get:}\\(4)& 8x + 13y & = & 173 &\\(5) & 9x + 13y & = & 180 & \\(6)& 8x + 5y + z & = & 169 & \\(7)& x & = & \mathbf{7} & \text{Subtracted (4) from (5)} \\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{lrcll}& 8(7) + 13y & = & 173 & \text{Substituted (7) into (4)} \\& 56 + 13y & = & 173 & \text{Simplified} \\& 13y & = & 117 & \text{Subtracted 56 from each side} \\(8)& y & =& \mathbf{9}&\text{Divided each side by 13}\\& 8(7) + 5(9) + z & = & 169 & \text{Substituted (8) and (7) into (6)} \\& 56 + 45 + z& = & 169 & \text{Simplified} \\& 101 + z& = & 169 & \text{Simplified} \\&z& = & \mathbf{68} & \text{Subtracted 101 from each side}\\\end{array}$

$\boxed{\mathbf{ x = 7, y = 9, z = 68}}$

What single decimal multiplier would you use to increase by 18% followed by a 12% decrease?

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The single decimal multiplier used to increase by 18% followed by a 12% decrease is 0.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the number

As first the number has to be increased by 18%

Step 1: write the percentage '18%' in decimal form

18% = 0.18

Step 2: For percentage increases: add the decimal to 1

1 + 0.18 = 1.18

Step 3: Multiply the number x by the multiplier, found in Step 2

x × 1.18 = 1.18x

NEXT WE HAVE TO DECREASE 1.18x by 12%

Apply the same method but with a number 1.18x

Write the percentage '12%' in decimal form

12% = 0.12

For percentage decreases: subtract the decimal to 1

1 - 0.18 = 0.18

Multiply the number 1.18x by the multiplier, found in Previous step

1.18x × 0.18 = 0.21x

Therefore, the single decimal multiplier used to increase by 18% followed by a 12% decrease is 0.21.
