The one above me is correct
Lets say u want an item that originally cost $ 50.....and u get a 25% discount....then u are actually subtracting 25% of the original price.
25% of 50 .....turn the percent to a decimal..." of " means multiply
0.25 * 50 = 12.50.....so u would be subtracting 12.50 from $ 50 for the discounted price which is (50 - 12.5) = 37.5
here is another example...
u want an item that costs $ 90....and it is 25% off.....so u would be subtracting (25% of 90).......u would be subtracting (0.25 * 90) = 22.50 from the original price to arrive at the discounted price.
90 - 22.50 = 67.50...the discounted price
But let me show u something....taking 25% off is the same as paying 75%..
so lets say u want an item that costs $ 60....and u get a 25% discount...this means u r actually paying 75%.....ur paying 75% of 60.
0.75 * 60 = $ 45...this is what u r paying....no need for subtracting
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number.
9x+16≥-26
9x≥-26-16
9x≥-42
3x≥-14
x≥-14/3
The radical equation is

.
i) We first isolate the square root, adding 5 to both sides of the equation:

ii) Here let's substitute x+6 with t. Doing so we have:

Squaring both sides, we get:

iii) Collecting the variables on the same side, and factorizing t we have:

, which yields
t=0 or t=1.
Now we solve for x in x+6=t:
x+6=0 ⇒x=-6 and x+6=1⇒x=-5.
iv) Now we check these values in the original equation

:
a)

⇒ 0=0 ; Correct.
b)

⇒ 1=1 ; Correct.
