Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x-15)/2 = 4x
Multiply each side by 2
(3x-15)/2 *2= 4x*2
3x-15 = 8x
Subtract 3x from each side
3x-15-3x = 8x-3x
-15 = 5x
Divide each side by 5
-15/5 = 5x/5
-3 =x
Markup is the amount added to the cost price of goods to cover overhead and profit.
Sue’s Corner Market has a markup of 60% on bottled water.
Let us say original price was $x.
Now price after markup is $2.
So we can make an equation like:
original price + markup price = price after markup
x + 60% of x =2


dividing both sides by 1.6
x= 1.25
So original price was 1.25 dollars.

Answer:
Jean is 9 and Tom is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 years ago, Tom was 12 and Jean was 6, hence Tom was twice as old as Jean.
Since that was their age 3 years ago, they are currently 15 (Tom) and 9 (Jean).
Add 2 years to each of these ages, you get 17 and 11.
17 + 11 = 28
