Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify</em>
2(x + -5) + x = x + (-6)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- [Distributive Property] Distribute 2: 2x - 10 + x = x - 6
- [Addition] Combine like terms (x): 3x - 10 = x - 6
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract <em>x</em> on both sides: 2x - 10 = -6
- [Addition Property of Equality] Add 10 on both sides: 2x = 4
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides: x = 2
Answer:
20.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of stock increased in Company A = 20% of 1790
= 0.20 * 1790 = $ 358
Investor's stock in company A this year = 1790 + 358 = $ 2148
Amount of stock increased in Company B = 22% of 1000
= 0.22 * 1000= $ 220
Investor's stock in company B this year = 1000 + 220 = $ 1220
Total amount in investor's stock account = 2148 + 1220 = $ 3368
Increased amount = 3368 - 2790 = $ 578
Increase percentage = 
= 20.71
= 20.7%
