To find the percent of anything, you divide what you have from the total (or the smaller number over the bigger number). In this case, you will do 14/26.
14/26=0.53846
I'm going to round to the hundredths: 0.54
Move the decimal place two times to the right: 54
The percent change from 14 inches to 26 inches is 54%
1.5
negative times a negative is a positive
4x3/8=1.5
Ok so if 5x + 24 equals 9x - 17, the we can write it like this:
5x + 24 = 9x - 17 ~~~ We have to get x on one side to find out what it is. So you can either subtract 5x from both sides or 9x from both sides. Imma subtract 5x from north sides which becomes:
5x - 5x + 24 = 9x - 5x - 17 Now simplify
24 = 4x - 17 Now isolate 4x. To do that we have to add 17 to both sides
24 + 17 = 4x - 17 + 17 Now simplify
41 = 4x Now we have to get x alone on one side. So divide 4 from both sides. Becomes
41/4 = 4x/4 Now simplify.
10.25 = x
Answer:
