8x - 12 = 4x
8x - 4x = 12
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3
Answer: ∠P= 20°
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation: Well we know that the sum of a triangle always equals to 180°, so ∠P + 80 +80 = 180°
</h3>
∠P + 160 = 180
Subtract 160 from both sides, 160 on the left is cancelled so that 180-160 equals 20
∠P=20°
Part A: c for cost. c=0.31m+0.5
0.31m is the cost per minute. 0.5 is cost per call.
Part B: 0.31m+0.5=5.15 to solve we must rearrange.
subtract 0.5 from each side giving us 0.31m=4.85
divide by 0.31 giving us m=15.65
Answer:
The original price of an item less a discount of 20% is 0.8p where p is the original price
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to write an algebraic expression that represents the original price of an item less a discount of 20%
Let the original price of the item be p
The meaning of the ‘less’ is that we are subtracting 20% of the price from the original price ;
So 20% of the price will be 20/100 * p = 20p/100 = p/5 = 0.2p
So let’s take this away from the original price p
That will be;
p - 0.2p = p(1-0.2) = 0.8p
