Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A gallery owner purchased a very old painting for $3,000.

The painting sells at a 325% increase in price .

325% is written in the decimal form.

= 3.25

Increase in the prize= 3.25 × 3000

                                 = $9750

Retail price of the painting = Purchased cost of painting + Increase in the prize

                                            = $9750 + $3000

Therefore the retail price of the painting is  $12750 .

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3
