Answer:
<u>After a 75% increase, it would become</u>
x + 75%x = x + 0.75x = x(1 + 0.75) = 1.75x
<u>After a 50% decrease, it would become</u>
1.75x - 50%(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.5(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.875x = 0.875x = 
Because is less than x, the new amount would be less than the original.
Could you give me just one equation if you could?
1) -34 which is very simple
2) 4 2/3
Answer:
x = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
let us take three consecutive numbers be (x + 1), (x + 2) and (x + 3)
Now,
The sum of three consecutive integers is 90
i.e.,
(x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 90
x + 1 + x + 2 x + 3 = 90
3x + 6 = 90
3x = 90 - 6
3x = 84
x = 84/3
x = 28
x = 28Thus, The value of x is 28
<h2>
<em><u>VERIFICATION</u></em><em><u>:</u></em></h2>
(x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 90
(28 + 1) + (28 + 2) + (28 + 3) = 90
28 + 1 + 28 + 2 + 28 + 3 = 90
90 = 90
