Let’s say Peter’s number is P.

P minus 16 and the answer times -2 is -34

-2(P-16) = -34

-2P+32 = -34

-2P = -66

Divide by -2

P is 33.

Check: 33-16 is 17 and 17*-2 is -34. So

P is 33.

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x,

=> (x - 16) -2 = - 34

=> -2x + 32 = -34

=> -2x = - 34 - 32 (by transposing)

=> -2x = -66

=> x = -66/-2 = 33

Peter's number is 33.

Hope you understood.

Jacob is a plumber. Due to increased material costs, he puts all his prices up by 7%. He now chargers R320 per hour for her serv
Lorico [155]

Answer:

R290.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = charge before he put his prices up

New charge = R320

Percentage increase in price = 7%

x + 7% of x = 320

x + 0.07 * x = 320

x + 0.07x = 320

1.07x = 320

x = 320/1.07

x = 299.06542056074

Approximately

x = R290.1

Charge before he put his prices up = R290.1

jeyben [28]

Since the photo booth charges a $500 fee for two hours at the party and an additional 50 dollars per hour, we have:

50x+500=C

Where x is the hours stayed and C is the total cost. Since Cindy doesn't want to spend more than 700 dollars, we have:

50x+500=700 \implies\\ 50x=200\implies\\ x=4

So she spent an additional 4 hours on the rental.
