Answer:
less
Step-by-step explanation:
An increase of 20% makes the price 120% of the original price.
A discount of 20% makes the discounted price 80% of the previous price.
Original price: x
20% increase in price: 1.2 * x
20% discount over the raised price: 0.8 * 1.2 * x
Now we multiply the numbers in the last expression and compare the result with x.
0.8 * 1.2 * x = 0.96x
0.96 is less than x, so the customer pays less than the original price.
First, you set your problem up like this:
-4x+3=2x-6
add 6 to both sides so it looks like this:
-4x+9=2x
add 4x to both sides so it looks like this:
9=6x
divide 6 from both sides so this is your answer:
1.5=x
Answer: 10, 11, & 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Their ages are consecutive so,
Youngest: x
Middle: x + 1
Oldest: x + 2
The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.
x² = 8(x + 2) + 4
x² = 8x + 16 + 4
x² = 8x + 20
x² - 8x - 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 10 or x = -2
Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid
So, the Youngest (x) is 10
the Middle (x + 1) is 11
and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
