Well, the answer to the question in your picture is $1200.
If x is the original price, and we took 23%, or 0.23 from that, we are left with 77%, or 0.77 of the full price.
So 0.77x = 924
x = 924/0.77
x = 1,200
1200 - 0.23(1200) = 924
924 = 0.77x
Answer:
w = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides</u>
15 = w + 4
15 - 4 = w + 4 - 4
11 = w
Answer: w = 11
Answer:
(y - 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
"7 less than y" means just that.... that you have 7 fewer units then the value of y.
Answer:
In 2015 the both populations were the same and from that year the population of millennials surpassed the population of boomers
Step-by-step explanation:

x=14
Boomer: 10(14)+13y=1125
140+13y=1125
13y=1125-140
y= 985/13
y= 75.77 (75.77 millions of boomers in 2014)
Millenials: -2(14) +7y = 495
-28 +7y = 495
7y= 495+28
y= 523/7
y=74.71 (74.71 millios on millenials in 2014)
In 2014 the population of boombers were still greater than the population of millennials
The solution of the system of equations will give us the point where the populations were equalized, and from that point the population of boombers will be less than that of the millennials.
Boomers: 10x+13y = 1125
y= (-10x +1125)/13
Millenials: -2x+7y = 495
y= (2x+495)/7
We match both expressions of "y"
(-10x +1125)/13 =(2x+495)/7
cross multiply:
(-10x +1125)*7 =(2x+495)*13
-70x + 7875 = 26x + 6435
we group similar terms:
7875 -6435 = 26x+70x
1440 = 96x
x= 1440/96
x= 15
In 2015 the both populations were the same and from that year the population of millennials surpassed the population of boomers
