Answer:
120 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more, this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.
x(120) = 144(100)
120x = 14400
x= 120 pounds
Answer: 9, -4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write an equation:
xy=-36
x+y=5
Factors of -36 are: 1, -36, -1, 36, 2, -13, -2, 13, 4, -9, -9, 4, 6, -6
There are only 2 factors here that add up to -36: 9 and -4
A horizontal translation and a 180 rotation.
Answer:
x = 7
Step by step explanation:
<em>minus</em><em> </em><em>x</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em>
