This is not an equation because it lacks an equal sign....so the only thing we can do here is combine like terms.
4 - 2x - 12 - 2x + 1 =
-4x - 7
For example:
L plus W
3 plus 6= 9
I plus W
4 plus 6= 10
total: 9+10= 19
(this is just an example)
First you must multiply the number by the percent. (19*27= 513)
Then you divide the answer by 100, or move decimal two places to the left. (513/100= 5.13)
Then round to the nearest whole number (5.13 is approximately 5)
Therefore 19%of 27 = 5
