Answer:
Last year the cost was $28.
This year the cost is $36.
$36 - $28 = $8
Percent of increase = amount of increase ÷ original amount
$8/$28 = $0.286
$0.286 · 100 = 28.6%
There has been a 28.6% of change in the cost.
1st:x
2nd x+2
3rd: x+4
(x)+(x+2) = 3(x+4)-31
distribute
2x+2 = 3x+12-31
2x+2 =3x-19
subtract 2x from each side
2 = x-19
add 19 to each side
21 =x
Answer: 21,23,25
Answer:
2) Equation 1 and Equation 2 have the same number of solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two given equations are
1) 15x + 6 = 41 and 2) 2x + 13 = 28
Solving both equations, we get
Solving (1) : 15x + 6 = 41 ⇒ 15x = 41 - 6 = 35
or, x = 35/15 ⇒ x = 7/3
Solving (2) : 2x + 13 = 28⇒ 2x = 28 - 13 = 15
or, x = 15/2 ⇒ x = 15/2
So, from above solutions we can say that Equation 1 and Equation 2 have the same number of UNIQUE solution.
