Answer:
x = 7 and 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can say:
x - 7 = 0 and 2x - 3 = 0
<em>Lets solve for x - 7 = 0 first:</em>
Add 7 to each side of "="
=> <u>x = 7</u>
<em>Now lets solve for 2x - 3 = 0</em>
First add 3 to each side of "="
=> 2x = 3
Now divide each side by 2
<u>=> x = 3/2</u>
Hope this helps!
Answer:
=24.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
- Simple interest = (principal×rate×time)÷100. *brackets first*
- transpose the formula to make rate the subject: rate= (100×simple interest) ÷ (principal×time)
- plug in values: rate = (100×37975) ÷ (31000×5)
- the result is 24.5%

Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of fuel = 30% of $400 000 = 30/100 x 400000 = $120 000
Fuel amount = $120 000/$1.5 = 80 000 liters
new cost of fuel = 80000 x $1.6 = $144 000
increase in cost = 144000 - 120000 = $24000
So the increase in petrol price increases the operating cost by $24000
