if x represents the previous years revenue, and they made 35% more than x, we need to find what 35% of x is and then add it to x to get the new total, so the equation becomes:
Distributive property first so you wanna do 2•4 then you will get 8x then you have to do 2•8 Wich is 16 then you will end up with 8x-16+16t=48 move the expression to the right 8x=48+16-16t 8x=64-16t x=8-2t?
