Writing this word problem symbolically: 6x + 4 = x = 11.
Combining like terms, 5x = 7, and so x = 7/5 (answer)
So a hack is we know that 20% times 5 =100% and 40 divided by 2=20 so
50=40%
divide both sides by 2
25=20%
20 times 5=100 so
multiply both sides by 5
125=100%
Answer:
d. 46.19
Step-by-step explanation:
y=124.85(0.37)
to figure out the percent decrease, subtract the percent from 100. then divide by 100 to get a decimal. multiply that decimal by the original cost to get the answer.
Let Amanda's age = x.
Gregory's age = x + 5.
Since Gregory is 17 years old.
17 = x + 5
x = 17 - 5
x = 12
Amanda is 12 years old.
