Question

Write a context and then solve the equation: x- 0.28x = 252 .

Answer 1

the left side has like terms. subtract them:)

Answer 2

hint:
x - 0.28x = 252 is same as 1.00 x - 0.28 x = 252

Answer 3

So then, subtract the x's because they are like terms...

.72 x = 252

And get x by itself, so divide both sides of the equation by .72 to find your answer.

252/.72 is = _____ and that is your answer (you have to do at least some of the work :)
