8 ( 4 - x ) = 7x + 2
32 - 8x = 7x + 2
-7x -7x
--------------------------
32 - 15x = 2
-32 -32
----------------------------
-15x = -30
/-15 /-15
x = 2.
Hello!
We are given the weight of Mia's dog and told to find the weight of Lettie's dog based on the known relationship. Using these given values, we can create the following equation (let "w" represent the total weight of Lettie's dog):
w = 32.6(3.8)
Simplify the right side of the equation:
w = 123.88
We have now proven that Lettie's dog weighs 123.88 lbs.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
d. May
Step-by-step explanation:
Working through the chain, we have ...
Feb = 1.10×Jan
Mar = 0.85×Feb = 0.935×Jan
Apr = 1.20×Mar = 1.122×Jan
May = 0.90×Apr = 1.0098×Jan
Jun = 1.05×May = 1.06029×Jan
The multiplier that is closest to 1 is 1.0098, so May has sales closest to January.

The percentage increase or decrease can be converted to a multiplier by adding it to 1. If p% is the percentage change, then adding it to an original value looks like ...
original + p% × original = original × (1 +p%) . . . . . . . distributive property
And p% translates to a decimal number by replacing % with /100 or ×0.01.
10% increase: original × (1 + 10/100) = original × 1.10
15% decrease: original × (1 - 15/100) = original × 0.85
Answer:
x=5
