The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
x=6/7.
Explanation:
First we find the general form by solving for x:
a-bx = cx+d
Subtract a from each side:
a-bx-a = cx+d-a
-bx = cx+d-a
Subtract cx from each side:
-bx-cx = cx+d-a
-bx-cx = d-a
We can divide both sides by -1:
(-bx-cx)/-1 = (d-a)/-1
bx+cx = -d+a
bx+cx = a-d
Factor out an x on the left:
x(b+c) = a-d
Divide both sides by (b+c):
(x(b+c))/(b+c) = (a-d)/(b+c)
x = (a-d)/(b+c)
In this equation, a = 5, b = 6, c = 8 and d = 17:
x = (5-17)/(6+8) = -12/14
This simplifies to -6/7.
Answer:
a) $37.387
b) $1,588.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to multiply the last paycheck
(106.82) by the percentage saved in decimal form (divided by 100)
a) 106.82 x (35/100) = $37.387 (weekly saving)
Now, we have to multiply that result by the number of weeks.
b) 37.387 x 42.5 =$1,588.95

Answer: $70.2
Step-by-step explanation:
First you want to find what 8% of 65 is by doing this
<em>65(0.08) = </em>5.2
Now you want to add <em>$65 + $5.2 = $70.2</em>
Doesn’t it say the answer already? I think it’s 4.95 dollars
Add the price of the items bought and then subtract that from ten dollars:
Total bought: 1.79 + 2.99 + 4.37 + 0.33 = $9.48
Change back: 10.00 - 9.48 = 0.52
you would get $0.52 back in change.
