Ok, let's simplify the left side first by adding the x's together
We get:
12x+5=12x+y
So if we subtract 12x from each side, it cancels it out on both sides, leaving us with 5=y or y=5
If we plug that back into the original we simplified of 12x+5=12x+y, we would have: 12x+5=12x+5, which is true. :D
A)The total cost would be: x=15a+12b+18c where x is the total cost and a,b,and c are the amount of stocks you bought from their respective companies.
B) Since you bought 10 A stocks, you must have bought 20 C stocks. That adds up to 30 bought, leaving 15 for B.
x=(15)(10)+(12)(15)+(18)(20)
x=150+180+360=$690 spent
C) A's stock is now 15(1.25) which is 18.75. C's stock is now 18(.90) which is 16.2
new equation is 18.75a+12b+16.2c=x
D) Substitute the number of stocks we bought from each in again:
187.5+180+324=$691.5
The cost went up slightly, so divide 690/691.5 then multiply that number by one hundred. You get that you spent in B 99.8% the amount you spent in C. So 100-99.8= an increase of <u>.2% </u>
Answer: A(30)
Reason 3x10=30 and as it does take a while to get there in the fourth round of 58-7 30 will be the first number first term to appear.
When the converted costs are compared, the earlier edition of the history book is more expensive.
<h3>Which book is more expensive?</h3>
The consumer price index measures the changes in price of a basket of good. It is used to measure inflation.
Converted price of the earlier edition = (CPI in 1992 / CPI in 1999) x later edition of the book
(140.3 / 166.3) x $43 = $36.28
