This week, Ariel ended up needing 12 gallons of gas. That is 20% more than she needed last

Answer:

10 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

She used 12 gallons this week and used 20% more than last week. That means 12 gallons is 120% of last weeks gas. Since 12 times 10 equals 120, then to find 20% you do 20 divided 10 and subtract the answer from 12.

20% is 2 because 20 divided by 10 is 2. 12 minus 2 is 10

Hope this helps :)

How to solve 3(×-5)-5=23​
USPshnik [31]

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x−5)−5=23

(3)(x)+(3)(−5)+−5=23(Distribute)

3x+−15+−5=23

(3x)+(−15+−5)=23(Combine Like Terms)

3x+−20=23

3x−20=23

Step 2: Add 20 to both sides.

3x−20+20=23+20

3x=43

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x /3  =  43 /3

x= 43 /3
