-q-7q=8
First you need to know that there is an invisible 1 in front of -q. Change it to -q if you need to. You get:
-1q-7q=8
add like terms: -1-7 gives you -8.
-8q=8. Divide by -8 on both sides to find q.
-8/8=-1
8/8=1
Therefore, q=1.
There are many factors of 40, 24, and 16
All three numbers are divisible by 2, 4, and 8
Hope this helps
Answer: $480
Explanation: First, change the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100. 40/100 = .4
Then multiply .4 by the cost, $1200. .4*1200 = $480
It would be 7.5/60 which equals .125
