Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

let's call the number x.

"five less than"

[expression] - 5

"the quotient of a number and 3"

x/3

x/3 - 5

"is -7"

x/3 - 5 = -7

<em>add 5 to both sides of the equation</em>

x/3 - 5 + 5 = -7 + 5

x/3 = -2

<em>multiply both sides of the equation by 3</em>

x/3 * 3 = -2 * 3

x = -6

k0ka [10]
The order you apply the adjustments does make a difference because the percents that are applied will be applied to different amount.  

For example, 80% of 100 = $80.  The price would be $180.

Decreasing this by 25% 25% of 180 = $45; 180-45 = $135.  

25% of 100 is not the same as 25% of 180.

Give one combination of two factors whose product is 0.24, if one of the factors is a whole number greater than 1.
vitfil [10]

Answer: There are a lot of answers to this product. Some of them include (in the format (w, x), where w is the whole number, and x is the factor you must multiply it by to get 0.24):

(2, 0.12), (3, 0.08), (4, 0.06), (6, 0.04), and so on.


Step-by-step explanation: Well, you could just assign the smallest who number greater than 1 to one of the factors, which is 2. Now you just have to multiply that by another factor to get 0.24. To do this, you could set up an equation like this:

2*x=0.24

Next, you would divide both sides by 2 to cancel out the 2 on the left side of the equation, leaving you with:

x=0.12

There you have it!

Now you can check your work by multiplying 2 and 0.12, and you will get 0.24!

You can do the same thing with other whole numbers, such as 3 and 4, and complete the same process to find the decimal factor that multiplies to 0.24.
