Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
24 - 3 x = -27
Subtract 24 from each side
24-24 - 3 x = -27-24
-3x =-51
Divide each side by -3
-3x/-3 = -51/-3
x = 17
Check
24 -3(17) = -27
24 -51 = -27
-27 = -27
Answer:
x = 3
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other into two equal segments. Therefore:
3x - 1 = 2(x + 1)
Solve for x
3x - 1 = 2x + 2
Collect like terms
3x - 2x = 1 + 2
x = 3
Also:
5y + 1 = 6y - 1
Collect like terms
5y - 6y = -1 - 1
-y = -2
Divide both sides by -1
y = -2/-1
y = 2
Answer:
B. 55.10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
1 pair of Shoes for 1st year = $50
2 pair of Sock for 1st year = $2 each = 2
2= $4
CPI for year 1 = Price of shoes for 1st year + Price of Sock for 1st year= $50 + $4 = $54
Now
1 pair of Shoes for 2nd year = $51
2 pair of Sock for 2nd year = $2.05 each = 2 2.05 =$4.10
CPI for Year 2 = Price of shoes for 2nd year + Price of Sock for 2nd year= $51 + $4.1 = $55.10
Hence CPI for Year 2 is $55.10
Answer:
There was an 11% increase.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find a percent increase is this: (original amount - new amount / original amount) * 100
If you fill in the formula, you get this:
(164,000 - 182,040 / 164,000) * 100
Solve:
(-18,040 / 164,000) * 100 ---> If the number being divided is negative, find the absolute value.
(18,040 / 164,000) * 100 =
0.11 * 100
11%
