Let's say Ronnie is thinking of X.
If 2(x) = x+5, we would first distribute the 2.
2x = x+5
We would then need to isolate the variable. We would do so by getting all variables to one side. The easier choice would be to subtract x from both sides.
2x=x+5
-1x -1x
This becomes
x=5
Ronnie is thinking of the number five.
5•2=10 and 5+5=10.
Answer:
x=100 degrees

Answer:
Mark up = 33.33%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
buying price = $75
selling price = $100
First we will find the difference between two prices:
Difference = 100 - 75 = $25
We will find now that 25 is what percent of 75 so:
=25/75* 100
= 0.333333 * 100
= 33.33%
So the store marked the price by 33.33% instead of 30%
i hope it will help you!
