Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:
Let the original price = x
To begin with, we will convert the word problem into an equation as displayed below:
( x / 2 ) - 8 = 18
Now, to find the original price we will simply make ( x ) the subject and solve accordingly as displayed below:
( x / 2 ) - 8 = 18
( x / 2 ) = 18 + 8
( x / 2 ) = 24
x = 24 × 2
x = $48
CHECKING THE ANSWER:
In order to check if the answer is correct, simply substitute the value of x into the original equation and solve. If the left-hand and right-hand side are equivalent, then the answer is correct as displayed below:
( x / 2 ) - 8 = 18
( 48 / 2 ) - 8 = 18
24 - 8 = 18
18 = 18
Therefore, the answer is:
x = $48
Answer:
U will be at 0,-2
S will be at -2,-5
T will be at 2,-5
Step-by-step explanation:
50/8
Simply divide 8 into 50. That is 6. Because 8 *6 = 48.
There would be a remainder of 2.
So 50/8 = 6 whole number 2/8.
So the answer = 6 whole number 2/8. As mixed fraction.
You can reduce the 2/8 to 1/4.
So 6 whole number 1/4 is also correct.
