Answer:4 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
18 and 17 should have a line through
Answer:
If your investment dropped 7% and then increased by 8% you will not be a percent ahead. The reason being is that the increase is a lower amount and the decrease was on a larger amount.
For example, if you have $100 invested. 100*.07=$7, 100-7=$93 remaining. 93*08= $7.44. 93+7.44=100.44 (a .44 increase from the original number). One percent increase from the original number would have $101.
1. 10x+6=8-2(x+6)
2. 10x+6=6(x+6)
(distribute the 6)
3. 10x+6=6x+36
(Move the 6x to the other side by subtracting)
4. 4x+6=36
(Move the 6 to the other side by subtracting)
5. 4x=30
(divide)
x=7.5
