Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expressions :
The list price of the item is 80 percent of the original price. The price of the item has been reduced by 80 percent.
Write a pair of linear equations using variables of your choice to prove that these two statements are not equivalent.
Let the original price = x
Expression 1 : The list price of the item is 80 percent of the original price
List price = 80% of x
List price = 0.8x
Expression 2: The price of the item has been reduced by 80 percent
Price = x - 80% of x
Price = x - 0.8x
Price = 0.2x
Multiply by percentages is different from an Incremental or decrement in percentage. The first expression above signifies a direct multiplication by the stated percentage while the second signifies a decrease in price based on a certain percentage of the original price.
Wording of percentages are so important for clarity in other to understand if the statement signifies a direct application of the percentage prescribed or a change in quantity, amount or size relative to the base unit.
$3 per book? Not sure what else the question is asking
Answer: one solution x + 3 = 5 x = 2 no other other value for x is possible
No solution: (x + 3) = 2(x +3)
Infinitely many solutions: x+3 = 3 + x
Step-by-step explanation:
why (x + 3) = 2(x +3) has no solution. Can you solve?
x+3=2x+6 -x=3 x=-3 substute -3 for x
(-3)+ 3)= 2[(-3) +3]
-3+3 = -6 +3
0 = -3 False!
x+3 = 3 + x has infinitely many solutions. Substitute any number for x, and the equation is true (5)+3=3+(5) 8=8 . 11111+3 =3+11111 11114=11114
