Yes, if you just distribute 2(x-6). Then you would have 2x-12 = -35 then add 12 to the -35 and your answer would be 2x = -23 and leads to them being equivalent.

Answer:
680,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Population before growing rate: 400,000
Growing rate: 7%
Duration: 10 years
___
First, you will have to calculate how much does the population increase each year with the said rate, so you will have to multiply the rate by the population to determine that amount.
400,000 x 7/100 = 28,000
So the population increases by 28,000 each year, now you will have to multiply that amount by the amount of years to determine how much the amount of increase.
28,000 x 10 = 280,000
This means that the population has increased by 280,000 in these 10 years. Finally, you will have to add that number to the population amount to get the answer.
400,000 + 280,000 = 680,000
Answer:
2000? ... assume $2000
Resale Value = $2000*(1 - 0.25)t/yr
where: t = number of year after purchase
at t = 3 yr
Resale Value = $2000*(1 - 0.25)3 = $843.75
checking: at t = 0 $2000 (purchase price)
at t = 1 yr $2000 - 0.25*$2000 = $2000 - $500 = $1500
at t = 2 yr $1500 - 0.25*$1500 = $1500 - $375 = $1125
at t = 3 yr $1125 - 0.25*$1125 = $1125 - $281.25 = $843.75
I hope I am reading the problem right: The price of a mountain bike increased by 20% in the past year. The value is $150. What was the value of the mountain bike last year?
Let's simplify this. One year, there was this radical mountain bike that used to have an unsaid price, <em>x. </em>That year, that price of x increased by 20% more than it was before, or <em>120% times the original value</em>. Because of that, it's now $150.
We can equation this.
1.20x = 150
x = 150/1.2
x = 125
The bike, I believe, cost $125 last year. Hope this helps!
