40% is the same as 40/100 so just multiply that with 60
60 x 40/100 = 24
thats how much is taken OFF so
60 is the original price and you get 40% discount off which is $24 on this specific item. how much is the price now?
Answer:
8xy that is the answer...................
Answer:
x = -3, x = 0 is a extraneous solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Cross-multiply
3x² = 4x² + 3x
Step 2: Isolate <em>x</em>'s
0 = x² + 3x
Step 3: Factor
0 = x(x + 3)
Step 4: Find roots
x = 0, -3
Step 5: Double check work
Plug in both to see if they both work. Only x = 0 should be extraneous. We now have our answer!
(3x+1)+(2x+4)=90
3x+1+2x+4=90
5x+5=90
5x=85
x=17
