The price of a watch was increased by 20% to £162.
What was the price before the increase?​

Answers

Answer 1
The original price is 135
Step-by-step explanation:
Write equation. Let o be original price, r be rate of increase, P be the increased price. o+ro=P
Substitute values. Original price (o) is unknown, so that will stay as it is; we know that the increased price (P) is 162; we know that the rate of increase (r) is 20%, which in decimal form is 0.20 o+0.20o=162
Add like terms. o is the same as 1o. So 1+0.20 is 1.20. 1.20o=162
Isolate the variable (o). To isolate o, you need to divide both sides by 1.20. 1.20 divided by 1.20 is the same as 1. 162 divided by 1.20 is 135. o=135
Check your work. Plug in the values into the equation and check if it is correct: o+ro=P becomes (135)+(.20)(135)=162. That is simplified into 135+27=162, which is further simplified into 162=162
It’s correct, the answer is 135
Answer 2

Answer:

£129.60

Step-by-step explanation:

10% =  £16.2

20% = £32.4

£162 - £32.40 = £129.60

to make this simpler let's just say x = 1

so 1 yellow cube 3 blue cubes and 15 green cubes

so there are 19 cubes in total

1 of them are yellow

so she has a 1/19 chance of picking a yellow cube

Answer:

1/19

Step-by-step explanation:

y = number of yellow cubes

3y = number of blue cubes

5(3y) = number of green cubes

total number of cubes = 19

Find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

110 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all the interior angles of a polygon is always equal to 180(n-2) where n is the number of sides. In this figure, there are 7 sides. This means that the sum of all the interior angles is 180(7-2) = 180 * 5 = 900.

Now, add up all the angles that you know and subtract that from 900 to find the value of x.

900 - (105 + 150 + 140 + 135 + 125 + 135) = 900 - 790 = 110 degrees

110 degrees ^^^^^^^^^

6ft is less then x and x is less then 30ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible length of the third side is 7 < x < 29.

What is a Triangle?

Polygon which has three sides and three vertices are called a triangle.

The sum of all the angles of the triangle is 180°.

Given:

The lengths of the other two sides of a triangle are 11 feet and 18 feet.

Let the third side's length is x feet.

The sum of the two sides of the triangle is always greater than the length of the third side of the triangle.

That means,

18 + 11 > x.

And 11 + x > 18.

So, we have a possible choice,

11 + 18 < x

Simplifying,

29 < x.

Arranging in better terms,

x > 29.

Another possible choice,

18 -11 < x

7 < x

Combining both inequalities,

we get,

7 < x < 29.

Therefore, 7 < x < 29.

Algebra I

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

-4x + 9y = 14

12x - 10y = -8

Step 2: Rewrite Systems

-4x + 9y = 14

Multiply everything by 3:                    -12x + 27y = 42

Step 3: Redefine Systems

-12x + 27y = 42

12x - 10y = -8

Step 4: Solve for y

Elimination

Combine 2 equations:                    17y = 34Divide 26 on both sides:                y = 2

Step 5: Solve for x

Define equation:                    12x - 10y = -8Substitute in y:                       12x - 10(2) = -8Multiply:                                  12x - 20 = -8Isolate x term:                        12x = 12Isolate x:                                 x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

HERE,

two equation are,

●-4x+9y=14••••••••••••(equation I)

●12x-10y=-8•••••••••••(equation II)

First multiplying 3 in equation I

we get,

[tex]\bold{3×(-4x+9y=14) }[/tex]

=[tex]\bold{ -12x+27y=42 }[/tex]••(equation III)

Then,

we combine the equationii and equation III.

we get that,

[tex]\bold{12x-10y-12x+27y=-8+42 }[/tex]

[tex]\bold{\cancel{12x}-10y\cancel{-12x}+27y=-8+42 }[/tex]

[tex]\rightsquigarrow[/tex] [tex]\bold{17y=34 }[/tex]

[tex]\rightsquigarrow[/tex] [tex]\bold{ y=\dfrac{34}{17} }[/tex]

[tex]\rightsquigarrow[/tex] [tex]\boxed{ y=2 }[/tex]

Then,

put the value of y in equation II.

WE get,

[tex]\rightsquigarrow[/tex] [tex]\bold{12x-10×2=-8 }[/tex]

[tex]\rightsquigarrow[/tex] [tex]\bold{ 12x-20=-8 }[/tex]

[tex]\rightsquigarrow[/tex] [tex]\bold{ 12x=-8+20 }[/tex]
