Mathematics
1 answer:
weeeeeb [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step1: Add 3 to both sides of the equation

2x -3 = 5x +6

    +3         +3 = 9

Step2: subtract 5x from both sides of the equation

2x = 5x +9

-5    -5

Step3: divide both sides of the equation by the same term

-3x(/ -3) = 9(/-3)    

<h3>X=-3</h3>

Step4: multiply -3 with 2

-3x2= -6

Step4: subtract -6 with 3

-6 - 3= -9

<h3>Y=-9</h3>

Step5: add the -9 to -3

-9 + -3 = -12

ANSWER: -12

Mike and Beth both write the decimal 0.8 (0.88888...)as a fraction. Mike: 45 Beth: 89 Which student wrote the correct fraction?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

0.888...

This is a <u>repeating decimal</u> (Is a decimal that has a digit, or a block of digits, that repeat over and over and over again without ever ending)

Convert to fraction number

Let

x=0.888...

10x=8.888...

Subtract 0.888... from 8.888... to remove the decimal

10x-x=8.888...-0.888...

9x=8

Solve for x

x=8/9

therefore

Mike fraction is incorrect

because 4/5=0.8

0.8 is a <u>terminating decimal </u>(It's a decimal with a finite number of digits)

Mike's mistake was considering the number as a terminating decimal instead of a repeating decimal

Beth is correct

because

If you divide 8/9

the result is 0.8888888...

The original cost of Sam’s investment is $10,000. After liquidating the investment, Sam calculated his real return to be $10,700
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Return on investment (ROI) = 7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount invested = $10,000

Total amount get (refund) = $10,700

Find:

Return on investment (ROI) = ?

Computation:

Amount Return = Total amount get (refund) - Amount invested

Amount Return = $10,700 - $10,000

Amount Return = $700

Return\ on\ investment \ (ROI) = [\frac{Amount\ Return}{Amount\ invested} ]100\\\\Return\ on\ investment \ (ROI) = [\frac{700}{10,000} ]100 \\\\ Return\ on\ investment \ (ROI) =7

Return on investment (ROI) = 7%
