Simplify:
−3=12y−5(2y−7)
−3=12y+(−5)(2y)+(−5)(−7)(Distribute)
−3=12y+−10y+35
−3=(12y+−10y)+(35)(Combine Like Terms)
−3=2y+35
Flip the equation.
2y+35=−3
Subtract 35 from both sides.
2y+35−35=−3−35
2y=−38
Divide both sides by 2.
2y/2=−38/2
y=−19
A because absolute values are always more than or equal to 0
I am confident that the best option is Last one in this case.
Lets suppose his initial weight was 60 kilograms
A gain of 20% would make his new eight 60 + 20*60/100
= 60 + 12
= 72 kg
he lost 25% of this:-
= 72 - 25 * 72/100 = 54 kg
This = (54/60) * 100 = 90% of his beginning weight Answer
