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.

Justify each step in solving the equation -3(2x-3)=25-8x by writing a reason for each statement.
Mice21 [21]

Answer: x= 8.


Step-by-step explanation: Given equation -3(2x-3)=25-8x.

Step 1: We have -3 in front of (2x-3). We always simplify a parenthesis first.

Therefore, applying Distributive property in first step, we get

-6x +9 = 25-8x.

Step 2:  We need to get rid 9 from left side to get constant numbers on right side.

9 is being added on left side.

So, we would apply reverse operation of addition.

Therefore, applying Subtraction property of equality, we get

-6x +9-9 = 25-8x-9

-6x =16 -8x.

Step 3: We need to get rid 8x from right side.

The reverse operation of subtraction is addition.

Therefore, applying Addition property of equality, we get

-6x+8x =16 -8x+8x

2x = 16.

Step 4: We need to isolate it for x.

So, applying Division property of equality, we get

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{16}{2}

<h3>x= 8.</h3>

Find a formula for the described function. Express the surface area of a cube as a function of its volume v.
Digiron [165]

Let the side of the cube=a

So the volume will be=V=a³

Then surface area of the cube will be=6a²=\frac{6a^3}{a} = \frac{6V}{a}

The above expression showing surface area as a function of Volume. (Answer)

What is the annual interest rate is 1=$160.67, p=$2000, t=8 months
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Please use " i " to denote "interest."

the formula for simple interest is i = p r t.

Here, i = $160.67 = $2000 (r) (8/12)


Solving for the interest rate, r = ($169.67)(12/8)/ $2000 = 0.127, or 12.7%
