Answer:
5, 5+ 5(1/5) 5 is the number
You need to isolate x, which means you need to get it alone. 16x and 11x are like terms because they both have an x, do subtract them. 16-11=5. So 15 = 5x
Then to turn 5x into x, divide by five. This is because 5/5 is 1, and 1x is x. Divide both sides, so
X = 3
Answer: 14.29 or rounded up to 15%
Step-by-step explanation:
525 - 450 = 75
You need at least $75 off the price to have enough money.
75/525 = x/100
Solve for X
75 * 100 = 7500
7500/525 = 14.2857143
If answer should be a whole percentage you would need the discount to be 15% in order to not fall short on funds.
