Answer:
y = 300
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 250 (1+0.2)
First add the 1 and 0.2
y=250(1.2)
multiply 250 with 1.2
y = 300

Alright - we want to start off by seeing if this number would be positive or negative. Debit means that you owe something, or that you have to pay that amount of money. If you had money to buy things with, that would be positive, but since debit means you haven’t paid something off yet, that is negative. Next, since you have 40 dollars in debt, you have -40 dollars.

Answer:
Isolate the variables in all cases. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
a) 3x = 18
Isolate the variable, x. Divide 3 from both sides:
(3x)/3 = (18)/3
x = 18/3
x = 6
b) 2x = 9
Isolate the variable, x. Divide 2 from both sides:
(2x)/2 = (9)/2
x = 9/2
x = 4.5
c) (x/5) = 7
Isolate the variable, x. Multiply 5 to both sides:
(x/5)(5) = (7)(5)
x = 7 * 5
x = 35
d) x/2 = 6.5
Isolate the variable, x. Multiply 2 to both sides:
(x/2)(2) = (6.5)(2)
x = 6.5 * 2
x = 13
