Answer:

£18

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of the game

Increase in price = 1/2

New price = £27

x + 1/2x = £27

2x+x/2 = 27

3/2x = 27

x = 27 ÷ 3/2

= 27 × 2/3

= 54 / 3

x = £18

Therefore, the original price of the game is £18

Answer:

£18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of the game

Increase in price = 1/2

New price = £27

x + 1/2x = £27

2x+x/2 = 27

3/2x = 27

x = 27 ÷ 3/2

= 27 × 2/3

= 54 / 3

x = £18

Therefore, the original price of the game is £18

Six times a number increased by 5
sergey [27]
I'm not quite sure what you asking here but if your asking how to answer it in "math terms" than I'll be happy to explain :)

So "times" means multiply and "increase" means add so righting this in math terms would be 
6x + 5 
because it's six times "a number" which you can replace with x!

Let me know if you have any questions :3

Need answer ASAP!!<br> Find the area of the shaded region.
qwelly [4]

Answer:

(5x² +7x -26) units²

Step-by-step explanation:

\boxed{area \: of \: rectangle = length \times breadth}

Area of shaded region

= Area of larger rectangle -area of smaller rectangle

Area of larger rectangle

= (3x -4)(2x +2)

= 3x(2x) +3x(2) -4(2x) -4(2) <em>(</em><em>Expand</em><em>)</em>

= 6x² +6x -8x -8

= 6x² -2x -8

Area of smaller rectangle

= (x -6)(x -3)

= x² -3x -6x +18 <em>(</em><em>Expand</em><em>)</em>

= x² -9x +18

Area of shaded region

= 6x² -2x -8 -(x² -9x +18)

= 6x² -2x -8 -x² +9x -18

= 5x² +7x -26
