The price of gasoline increased 25% from July to August. If c = cost of gasoline in July, write two expressions that represent the price of gas in August. If you know the cost of gas in July, which expression do you think would be easier to use to calculate the cost of gas in August and why?

Wrote it in the explanation :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression One: c + 25% = price of gas in august

Expression Two: c + 0.25 = price of gas in august

Expression Two would be easier to use if we knew "c" because the numbers are already in decimal form. If it were in percentage form, it would cause us an extra step to  convert it into a decimal.

Please tell me if you have any further questions...

Hope this helped!!

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
