Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
9). -2.2(4 - 1.9x) = 3.3(0.2x - 0.8)
-8.8 + 2.2(1.9x) = 0.66x - 2.64
-8.8 + 4.18x = 0.66x - 2.64
4.18x - 0.66x = 8.8 - 2.64
3.52x = 6.16
x = 1.75
10). 3.2(1 + 2.6x) = 2.4(x - 3.6)
3.2 + 8.32x = 2.4x - 8.64
8.32x - 2.4x = -3.2 - 8.64
5.92x = -11.84
x = 2
11). 4.6(2x - 5.5) = 3.9 + 0.8(1 + 5.5x)
9.2x - 25.3 = 3.9 + 0.8 + 4.4x
9.2x - 25.3 = 4.7 + 4.4x
9.2x - 4.4x = 25.3 + 4.7
4.8x = 30
x = 6.25
12). 0.2(3x + 2.5) - 4.9 = 3.8 - 2.2(x - 5.5)
0.6x + 0.5 - 4.9 = 3.8 - 2.2x + 12.10
0.6x - 4.4 = -2.2x + 15.90
0.6x + 2.2x = 15.90 + 4.4
2.8x = 20.30
x = 7.25
57.142 i think it would be correct
Answer:
The original number was 54.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a number is increased by 2.8%, then it is 102.8% of it's original number.
In mathematics, "of" in virtually all cases means "multiplied by".
Therefore, we do the opposite:
1. Convert to a decimal.
102.8% = 1.028
2. Divide by the decimal.
3. Round it to the nearest tenth.
54.47 rounds to 54.5.
-105
Multiply first, then subtract, then add.
