A -17 3/4< x so u have to simplify-17 3/4 by multiply 17*4=68+3=71/4 so the x stands for -71/4 and it has to be 4 as the denominator because it it the denominator for the question.
B, C, D are also the same answer-17/4
And for 15 3/4<-2+ x it is also the same answer
A) 25% = 25/100 = 0.25
b) 18% = 18/100 = 0.18
c) 40% = 40/100 = 0.40
d) 2% = 2/100 = 0.02
e) 0.15% = 0.15/100 = 0.0015
Peter's account is 910-40x, and Marla's account is 470-2x. This is a system, so you must find the number that makes both equations end up with the same number. Basically trial and error. Here is what I did:
Let's try the number 10. 910-400=510 and 470-20=450. I need a higher number.
Let's try 13 next. 910-520=390 and 470-26=444. Now the number has to be lower.
Let's try 12. 910-480=430 and 470-24=446. Close, and a little lower.
11.5 is too low, and 11.7 is too high. 11.6 has Equation 1 at 446 and Equation 2 at 446.8. Very close!
It is somewhere around 11.6. I hope that this can give you a start in figuring it out, because I don't believe in giving the complete answer, because then you do not learn anything from it.
