We need to express this statement into a equation:
First of all. We will walk through the statement step by step into a mathematical language, so:
1. The sum of five and x:
x + 5
2. Twice the sum of five and x:
2(x + 5)
3. Eight less than x:
(x-8)
Finally the whole statement is:
4. <span>Twice the sum of five and x is eight less than x:
</span>
2(x + 5) = (x-8)
2x + 10 = x - 8
x = -18
Answer:
We need to know the other marbles in the bag and how many there are of each.
Answer:
Discount = $30, Final price = $90
Step-by-step explanation:
25% is one quarter. 120/4=30
One quarter of 120 is 30, so - 30 would give discounted price of $90.
Similarly you could think of it like the discounted price is 75% of the original one and do 120x0.75=90 to find 75% of 120.
