Answer:
5/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a proportion:
16/4 = 5/x
Cross Multiply:
20 = 16x
x = 5/4
First find out what 5% of 900 is.
0.05 * 900 = 45
Now subtract this from 900.
900 - 45 = 855
So £900 decreased by 5% is £855.
Well, first you'd have to get the x by it's self.
10x+1=3x+9
Subtract 3x from each side and you'll have the x on only one side rather than two.
7x+1=9
Now I'd get rid of the 1 on the x's side. So just subtract 1 from each side.
7x=8
Then you should make it so the seven isn't there with the x either. Just divide each side by 7.
Answer: x=8/7
Each time you change something on one side, you must do the same to the other side. T find the value of a variable in an equation, simple seclude it so it's on it's own without number to make things confusing.
The answer was x=8/7 btw.
