Answer:

He paid $ 531.8 for it

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Joshua sold his bike for $585

Since he sold it for 10% less than he paid for it, let the amount he paid for it be x.

Then

x= $585 -(10 % of x)

=$585 - (0.1 x)

Add 0.1x to both sides

(1+0.1)x=585

1.1x=585

Divide both sides by 1.1

x=585/1.1

=531.8

What are the solutions to the equation (2x - 5) (3x - 1) = 0

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

x = 5/2 & x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Create two equations and solve

1) 2x-5 = 0 & 2) 3x-1 = 0

1) 2x = 5

x = 5/2

2) 3x = 1

x = 1/3

You create two equations as you want the left hand side (LHS) to equal 0 (RHS), thus if one of the brackets becomes 0 it will result in the whole LHS beocming 0 as the brackets are being multiplied (anything multiplied by 0 = 0)
