Which statement is best represented by the inequality p>487
The basketball team scored less than 48 points.
The basketball team scored 48 fewer points than last year's team
The basketball team scored greater than 48 points.
The basketball team scored exactly 48 points. I NEED HELP
starting with:
5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7
5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)
5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)
5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)
0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)
so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.
trying x = -0.5
5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)
5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)
5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)
-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)
since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.
trying x = 0
5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)
5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)
5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)
-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)
since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.
trying x = 1
5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)
5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)
5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)
-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)
since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
answer: expression= p+p*d%
price reduction + sale price = $625
sale price: $p+$p*d%
where d% is the percentage of discount
step-by-step explanation:
original price = p
price went down by $150 price reduction $p*d%
sale price= $ 475
therefore the price before sale is: $625
and the expression that shows the price before sale is: p+p*d%
The basketball team scored less...
