Answer:
$18
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
6.4x - 2.1x = 77.4
Where,
x = cost of sheet metal per square foot
How much does sheet metal cost per square foot?
6.4x - 2.1x = 77.4
4.3x = 77.4
Divide both sides by 4.3
x = 77.4 / 4.3
= 18
x = $18
Sheet metal per square foot cost $18
$68 is discounted from the regular price.
To find this, you first divide 80% by 100 to get 0.8 (the decimal form of the percentage). Then, simply multiply 0.8 by 85 (or vise verse) to get $68. Since the question is asking for how much is discounted from the regular price, the final answer would be $68.
I hope this helps!
Factorize x²+7x+12 ===> (x+3)(x+4)
Factorize x²-3x-28 ===> (x-7)(x+4)
4x + 12 can be written====> 4(x+3)
Then the question could be written as follows:
[(x+3)(x+4) / (x-7)(x+4) ] / 4(x+3) = [(x+3)(x+4) / (x-7)(x+4) ].[4(x+30]
After simplification you get 1 / 4(x-7)
