This is a two step problem. First, you need to find the difference (or increase) in the rent using subtraction.

616-560 = $56 increase

Now we need to figure what percent 56 is to the original amount (560)

We voice it like this:

56 is to 560 as x is to 100.

The equation looks like this:

56/560 - x/100

Cross multiply to cancel out the denominators.

56 x 100 = 560 x

5600 = 560 x

x = 10 percent.

Check it!

What is 10 percent of 560?

560 x .1 = $56

Was that your increase? ... yes.

-3(x+2)=12. solve for x
bagirrra123 [75]

Steps to solve:

-3(x + 2) = 12

~Distributive Property

(-3 * x) + (-3 * 2) = 12

~Simplify

-3x - 6 = 12

~Add 6 to both sides

-3x - 6 + 6 = 12 + 6

~Simplify

-3x = 18

~Divide -3 to both sides

-3x/-3 = 18/-3

~Simplify

x = -6

Best of Luck!
