The price of gas increases from $2.35 to $2.82 or by $0.47 ($2.82 - $2.35 = $0.47).
The increase as a percentage of the original price is given by
($0.47/$2.35) x 100% = 20%

The answer is 20%

Twice the sum of a number and 5 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 7. Find the number.
Alexandra [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x.

According to the given information:

2(x + 5) = 3(x - 7) \\  \\  \therefore \: 2x + 10 = 3x - 21 \\  \\   \therefore \: 10 + 21 = 3x -2x \\  \\ \therefore \: 31 = x \\  \\  \huge \red { \boxed{\therefore \: x = 31}}

Hence the required number is 31.

If 1/p+q=r and p≠-q, what is p in terms of r and q?
bekas [8.4K]

p = (1/r) - q

In order to find this, follow the order of operations to get the answer.

1/p+q = r ----> Multiply both sides by p+q

1 = r(p + q) -----> Divide by r

1/r = p + q -----> subtract q from both sides

(1/r) - q = p

Find f(2) given f(x) = -3x^3 + x^2 – 3
aleksley [76]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -3x^3 + x^2 – 3       f(2) means that wherever you see a x, put in a 2.

f(2)= -3(2)^3 + (2)^2 - 3

f(2) = -3*8 + 4 - 3

f(2) = - 24 + 1

f(2) = - 23
