Answer: X=50

Step-by-step explanation:

Data: 4 less than half of a number(x) is 21

Step one, make an equation

(x/2)-4=21

The reason for this is that since we know that 21 is 4 less than half the number(x) we can assume that dividing x by 2 will get half of it and by subtracting 4, we can get 21 which why it equals 21. By having it in an equation, it makes it easier to solve.

Step two, Start isolating x by adding 4 on both sides

(x/2)-4+4=21+4=(x/2)=25

The reason for this is that we have to find what x is which is done by isolating it. So if you add 4, you get rid of the -4 which helps isolate x and what you do to one side, you do to the other so you add 4 to 21 as well

Step three, multiply by 2 on both sides

(x/2)x2=25x2=X=50

The reason for this is that /2 is next to x so to isolate you have to get rid of it by multiplying by 2 and since what you do to one side you do to the other, you multiply 25 by 2 to get 50.

Answer: X=50

I hope this helps!

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the wind chimes at the home improvement store is $w.

A customer signed up for a free membership card and received a 5% discount off the price. The value of the discount is

5/100 × w = 0.05w

The discounted price would be

w - 0.05w = 0.95w

Sales tax of 6% was applied after the discount. The amount of sales tax applied would be

6/100 × 0.95w = 0.057w

The algebraic expression to represent the final price of the wind chime is

0.95w + 0.057w

= 1.007w
