You take the decimal of say .48 and pull the it back so it would be 48%
It’s 40 degrees
I subtracted 180 minus the 150 and got 30 then addd 110 and 30 and got 140 then substractef that from 180 and got 40
2x - 3(x + 4) = -5
2x - 3x - 12 = -5
-x - 12 = -5
-x = -5 + 12
-x = 7
x = -7
The answer is: x = -7.
You have to take $8,550 times 0.12 (12%) to find out the number it is being decreased by.
8,550 x 0.12 = 1,026
And then, you have to subtract 1,026 from 8,550 three times for three years and your answer becomes 5,472.
$5,472
