Answer:
The mistake is in step 1 when you do -2(x+4) you do the distributive property first -2 times x is -2x that's correct but -2 times 4 is not 8 it is -8
when you multiply by negatives the answer will always be a negative unless your multiply 2 negative number together then itll be positive ex. 4 × -4 = -16 (negative) but -4 × -4 = 16 (positive)
Answer:
Shopkeepers gain just by weighing is 22.22%
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
Assume that the shopkeeper bought x units of goods i.e. actual weight of goods.
As the balance used to buy goods weighs 10% more, he actually bought x×110100=1.1x weight units i.e. although the shopkeeper paid for x units, he actually bought 1.1x units by weight.
Now he has 1.1x units of goods, but for selling he uses another balance, which actually measures 10% less i.e. 1−0.10=0.9 units for each unit weight of goods sold.
So while selling 1.1x becomes 1.1x0.90=1.2222... units.
Hence, shopkeepers gain just by weighing is 22.22%
