-12 + 3x + 2 = 5x - 10 - 8x
-10 + 3x = -3x -10
-10 + 6x = -10
6x = 0
x = 0
When finding the percent difference between two numbers, there are two ways you can do this.
1. The first way is how to calculate the percentage INCREASE of two numbers:
-The formula is Increase / Original Number × 100 = % increase
Step 1: Find out the difference between the two numbers you're comparing. New number - Original number = Increase.
Step 2: Divide the increase by the original number and then multiply your answer by 100. (If your answer is a negative number, then it is a percent decrease, not a percent increase.)
2. The second way is how to calculate the percentage DECREASE of two numbers:
Step 1: Find out the difference between the two numbers you're comparing. Original number - New number = Decrease.
Step 2: Divide the decrease by the original number and then multiply your answer by 100. Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100
= % Decrease. (If your answer is a negative number, then is is a percent increase, not a percent decrease.)
Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+5=6x-7
4x-6x=-7-5
-2x=-12
x=-12/-2
x=6
The average of 5, 7, 12, and 12, is (5 + 7 + 12 + 12)/4.
(5 + 7 + 12 + 12)/4 = 36/4 = 9.
The average is 9.
Answer:
4/45
Step-by-step explanation:
when dividing fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the second fraction's reciprocal :
1/9 divided by 5/4
1/9 multiplied by 4/5
essentially, you switch the signs from division to multiplication, and reverse the second fraction.
1/9 multiplied by 4/5
1/9*4/5 = 4/45
