Alright, this is simple. You know what the new number is, 54. You know the original number was decreased by 40%. Your looking for the original number, X. So set up an equation.
x-.4x=54
When X stands by itself, it's perceived to value 1.00
1.00-.4x=54
(1.00-.4 [40%]=.6)
.6x=54
Divide both sides by .6 to eliminate everything else.
.6x/.6=54/.6
You get 90. Your original number was indeed 90.
To check it, we can do 90/40%, or 90/.4=54
~Hope this helps!
        
             
        
        
        
write out:

___
and do 5x1, than 4x1, than drop the 0 and do 5x3 and carry the 1, multiply 4x3 and add the 1. This should be sufficient work shown.
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
By corresponding angles and vertical angles, these two angles are equal. 
Equation
-1 + 14x = 12x + 17                      Subtract 12x   from both sides
Solution
-1 + 14x - 12x = 12x - 12x + 17
-1 + 2x = 17                                 Add 1 to both sides
-1+1 + 2x = 17 + 1
2x = 18                                       Divide by 2
2x/2 = 18/2
x = 9
