14.5% = 0.145 = 145/1000
14.5 = 14500/1000
<span>So 14.5% is a hundredth the size of 14.5, so they are not equal and the friend is incorrect.</span>
Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the original number of bushes in garden A
Let x-9 = the original number of bushes in garden B
x-9-3=x-12 = bushes in garden B after transplanting 3
x+3 = bushes in garden A after transplanting 3
x+3=1.5(x-12)
x+3=1.5x-18
0.5x=21
x=42
There were 42 current bushes in garden A
I would have to say -7(1/8)x-4/3=20.
The first and the second one both result in
-23 5/7
The last one results in -24 8/21
but the third one is -22 3/8.
So your answer is either the third of the last one. I assumed the third because, it is lower than all others and the first two are closer to 24 than they are to 22. It’s your choice on how to judge it.
Answer:
If x + 9 = 5 then x =-
4
If x + 9 = -5 then x =-14
Step-by-step explanation:
x+9 =5
Subtract 9 from each side
x+9-9 = 5-9
x = -4
x+9 = -5
Subtract 9 from each side
x+9-9=-5-9
x = -14
