X/4 + 12 = 5
to isolate the variable the first step is to subtract 12 from both sides
x/4 + 12 - 12 = 5 - 12
x/4 = -7
next, to get rid of the division by 4, multiply both sides by 4
(x/4)*4 = -7*4
x = -28
5:4 = 10:8 = length:width
10+8=18
162÷18= 9
9×10= 90
the length of the rectangle is D. 90 ft
Answer:
£9.6
Step-by-step explanation:
x = the original price of a CD
£x = 100% of the original price
The price of a CD was decreased by 20% to £7.68.
This means:
£7.68 = 100% - 20%
£7.68 = 80% of the original price
From this, we will find 1% of the original price.
£7.68 ÷ 80 = 1%
£0.096 = 1%
Since the original price ( x ) = 100% of the original price, we will find 100% of the original price.
£0.096 × 100 = 100%
£9.6 = 100%
Therefore, the original price of a CD = £9.6
2.54(x) = cm in inches
2.54(12) = 30.48
12 inches = 30.48 cm
