Write it as an equation:
X - 10 = 6x + 3
Now solve for x:
Subtract 3 from both sides:
x-13 = 6x
Subtract 1 x from both sides:
-13 = 5x
Divide both sides by 5:
x = -13/5
John wanted to go on a train. the equation y=9/5 x describes the number of miles y that a train travels in x minutes. what is the constant speed of the train in terms of hours?
The constant speed of the train is 108 miles per hour
The price of the sweater was reduced by 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; Cost before reduction was $20. The cost after reduction was 12$. Cost reduced= cost before reduction - cost after reduction
Cost reduced= $20 - $12 = $8
Step 2; We must find how much of the cost was reduced from the initial cost i.e. how much $8 is to $20. To do this we must convert it into a percentage. We divide the $8 with the $20 to get a value. This value must be multiplied with a 100 to be converted into a percentage.
Cost by which sweater was reduced=
* 100 = 0.4 * 100 = 40
So the price of the sweater was reduced from $20 to $8 which equates to a reduction in 40%.
