Answer:

The original price of the pants was $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be equal to the original price of the pants.

Because the pants are 40% off, their final price was 60% of the original price. 60% as a decimal is 0.6. Using this information, we can set up the following equation and solve:

0.6x=18

Divide both sides by 0.6

0.6x/0.6=18/0.6

x=30

I hope this helps!

If b is the midpoint of AC, which of the following choices is the value of x?

katrin [286]

If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:

8x + 4 = 10x - 6

Solving for x:

4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)

So, x = 5, which is the second option given.

Find the value of 5x-6 given that 2x-7=9

erik [133]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

2x - 7 = 9 ← solve for x

Add 7 to both sides

2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 8

Substitute x = 8 into 5x - 6

5x - 6 = (5 × 8) - 6 = 40 - 6 = 34
