(2129-1727)/1727=0.232
The percentage of increase is 23%.
To solve for X you must get x by itself so let's get started
-4x+13=6x-7
subtract 13 from both sides
-4x=6x-20
subtract 6x from both sides
-10x=-20
divide both sides by -10
x=2
to check if this is correct plug in x into original equation
-4 (2)+13=6 (2)-7
-8+13=12-7
5=5
answer x=2 holds true :)
The best way to approach a word problem like this
is to break it down into pieces, so we can understand it fully.
In this problem, we have a number, which we don't know.
We can use any variable to represent it.
So let's use the variable <em>n</em> to represent it.
"Two less than three times a number" means 3n - 2.
A common mistake is for students to put 2 - 3n.
However, the word "less than" switches the order around.
So we have 3n - 2 = 19.
Solving from here, we add 2 to both sides to get 3n = 21.
Now divide both sides of the equation by 3 and we have n = 7.
So the number is 7.
