1) Simply combine like terms on the left carry out the division on the right.
2) Let U = measure of UVW and let X = measure of XYZ. U = X - 16
Since the angles are also complementary, then their sum is 90. U + X = 90. You now have two equations to work with: substitution will allow you to find the value of U.
3) Let x = original price. x + 0.24x = 37.82. So 1.24x = 37.82 ... you can now divide both sides by the number needed to isolate x.
Can someone please show me how to do these problems? I've been trying but I'm having a hard time...
1.Simplify the expressions on each side of the equation to obtain an equivalent equation:
5x + 12 + 4x -16= 100/2
2.Angles UVW and angles XYZ are complementary angles. m of angle UVW is 18 degress less than m of angle XYZ. What is m of angle UVW?
3.After a 24% increase, the price of a tennis racquet was $37.82. What was it's original price?
Thanks so much!!
