Answer:
Last year the cost was $28.
This year the cost is $36.
$36 - $28 = $8
Percent of increase = amount of increase ÷ original amount
$8/$28 = $0.286
$0.286 · 100 = 28.6%
There has been a 28.6% of change in the cost.
Since the 7 is in front of the parentheses you must multiply it by everything inside the parentheses. 7 times X is 7X and 7 times -2 is -14. Then you need to make the X be by itself on one side, to do that you have to add 14 to -14 to make it disappear, and also add 14 to the other side, to 28. Then you divide both sides by 7 to make X be by itself.
7(x-2)=28
7X-14=28
7x=42
X=6
X equals to 48
The work is shown in the picture. I hope this helps.
