To make 70% she has completed 7 out of 10 shots. for her to get 75% she would need 3 out of 4 each time.
<u>Answer:</u>
one solution = 3
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
5x+17=4(3x−1)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5x+17=4(3x−1)
5x+17=(4)(3x)+(4)(−1)(Distribute)
5x+17=12x+−4
5x+17=12x−4
Step 2: Subtract 12x from both sides.
5x+17−12x=12x−4−12x
−7x+17=−4
Step 3: Subtract 17 from both sides.
−7x+17−17=−4−17
−7x=−21
Step 4: Divide both sides by -7
-7x/-7 = -21/-7 = 3
From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75
Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88
so we form an equation:
3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88
3x + 2.25 = 5.88
3x = 5.88 - 2.25
3x = 3.63
x = 3.63 / 3
x = 1.21
Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars
