I just answered this.... :]
x - 0.05x = 57,
0.95x = 57,
57/0.95 = original price
Original price = $60
Your answer is 28.
If the equation is in an absolute value, you do the operation like normal and then take the positive version of the number because an absolute value is just how far on a number line the number is from zero and distance cannot be measure in negative numbers.
Answer:
$2076.30
Step-by-step explanation:
In the n-th year, the rent will be ...
an = a1·r^(n-1) . . . . . . . . . r is the year on year ratio: 1+rate of increase
an = 1100·(1.095^(n-1))
Then the rent in the 8th year is ...
a8 = 1100·(1.095^(8-1)) ≈ 2076.30
The rent in the 8th year would be $2076.30.
Anwser would be 18/14 simplified to 9/7
