Let 32% of x = 56
32%*x = 56
32/100 *x = 56
x = 56*100/32
x = 5600/32 = 175
hence, 32% of 175 is 56.
perimeter = 8x - 16
A square has 4 sides of equal length, multiply length of side by 4
perimeter = 4(2x - 4) = 8x - 16
Expand by multiplying out:
14-15t + 36 = 1 -20t -1,
Because of the minus before the bracket, it changes the sign inside the bracket
-15t + 20t = 1-1-14-36 Rearranging the ts on one side and the numbers on other
side.
5t = -50 Divide both sides by 5.
t = -50/5
t = -10.
