Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

31.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that ticket prices were on sale from $8.75 to $6.00. We are asked to find percent of decrease.

\text{Percent of decrease}=\frac{\text{Final}-\text{Original}}{\text{original}}* 100\%

\text{Percent of decrease}=(6-8.75)/(8.75)* 100\%

\text{Percent of decrease}=(-2.75)/(8.75)* 100\%

\text{Percent of decrease}=-0.3142857142857* 100\%

\text{Percent of decrease}=-31.42857142857\%

\text{Percent of decrease}\approx -31.4\%

Therefore, percent of decrease was approximately 31.4%.
Answer 2
Answer: The percentage decrease is about 31.43%

8.75-6/8.75 x 100

2.75/8.75 x 100 = 31.428%

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-17x+15=0

Combine like terms

-15x +15 = 0

Add 15x to each side

-15x+15x+15=0+15x

15 = 15x

Divide by 15

15/15 = 15x/15

Answers

To simplify 2x + 8 = -6, the easiest way is to manipulate the equation one step at a time:

2x + 8 = -6
2x = -14             (subtract 8 from both sides)
x = -7                 (divide both sides by 2)
