Need help with #23 and #24 please!

The spring the owner of a sporting good store decreases the price of winter gloves from $10 to $8 each increases the price of swimming goggles from $8 to $10 without doing the math you think the percent decrease in the price of the gloves the same as the percent increase of the goggles explain why or why not

Girardo is using the model below to solve the equation . girardo uses the following steps: step 1 add 4 negative x-tiles to both sides step 2 add 1 negative unit tile to both sides step 3 the solution is which step could be adjusted so that gerardo's final step results in a positive x-value? in step 1, he should have added 4 positive x-tiles to both sides. in step 1, he should have added 3 negative x-tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 4 negative unit tiles to both sides. in step 2, he should have added 1 positive unit tile to both sides.

What happens to the area as the sliders are adjusted? what do you think the formula for the area of a triangle is divided by 2?
