First we expand the brackets:
-2a + 8 + 6a = 36
4a + 8 = 36
We then need to get the a's onto one side and the numbers onto the other:
4a = 28
We can then divide to get an x by itself:
a = 28/4 = 7
Answer: The answer is $0.42 APEX
267 is what the answer is sorry if it’s wrong
One hack is recognizing that
x% of 100 is x
150 is 1.5 times of 100 so
x% of 150=1.5x
therfor
12.5% of 150=1.5*12.5=18.75
anyway
percent means parts out of 100
12.5%=12.5/100=0.125
'of' means multiply
12.5% of 125=0.125*150=18.75
the answer is 18.75
