3 x 1.5 = 4.5 and positive, negative
Answer:
16.8
Step-by-step explanation:
84 / 5 = 16.8
The answer is 76. 2(-3)=-6 -6(-6)=36. 5 times the absolute value of 8 is 40. 36+40=76
The sentence "15% of 4x is 20 less than x"
translates to 0.15 • (4x) = x – 20
Solving that…
0.15(4x) = x - 20 multiplipy 0.15•4
0.6x = x - 20 subtract x from both sides
-0.4x = - 20 divide both sides by -0.4
x = 50
