Answer:

x=−14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract x from both sides.

3x+20−x=x−8−x

2x+20=−8

Step 2: Subtract 20 from both sides.

2x+20−20=−8−20

2x=−28

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

Answer:

x = 9.33333333333

Step-by-step explanation:

How to solve...

3x + 20 = x - 8

     +   8 = x + 8

----------------------  ( add 8 on both sides )

  <u>3x + 28 = x</u>

 3x  + 28 = 3x

---------------------- ( divide 3x on both sides )

     <u>28 = 3x</u>

      3  =  x

---------------------- ( divide 28 by 3 )

x = 9.33333333333

The marked price of an article is 30% above it's selling price and the cost price is 35%less than it's marked price. find the di
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Let C be the cost price of the article. Then:

C(1+30%)=marked price

So:

C(1+30%)=C(1.3)

=1.3C

If the article is then marked down 35%, then its’ price would be:

1.3C(1–35%)=1.3C(.65)

=0.845 or 84.5% of its’ cost

Then:

0.845–1=-0.155

or, a 15.5% loss on the item

vekshin1

The commission is 20% of sales, the basic salary is $200 and the equation is y = 0.2x + 200

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let y represent the total sales for x weekly sales, m represent the commision and b represent the basic salary. Hence:

400 = 1000m + b  (1)

Also:

300 = 500m + b  (2)

Hence:

m = 0.2 = 20%, b = $200

The commission is 20% of sales, the basic salary is $200 and the equation is y = 0.2x + 200

Find the following dates in the units given:
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

a.  4 litres in 5 minutes (litres per minute)

4 litres per 5 minutes means 4/5 litres per 1 min = 0.8 litres per minutes

b. 12 litres in 45 minutes = 12/3 litres in 45/3 minutes = 4 litres per 15 minutes

60 minutes = 4*15 minutes

4 * 4 = 16 litres per hour

c. 800 kilowatt hours in 2 months

1 year = 12 months = 2*6 months

kilowatt per year = 800 * 6 = 4800 kilowatt per year

Hope this helped :3
