If gas prices are now $3.75 and they were up 10% from 6 months ago, how much were gas prices 6 months ago?

Given

gas prices are now $3.75 and it up 10% from 6 months ago.

Find out how much were gas prices 6 months ago.

To proof

gas prices now = $3.75

let the gas price 6 month ago = x

gas price now is rise up 10% from 6 months ago

First write 10% in simpler form

= 0.1

Now the equation becomes

0.1x + x = 3.75

1.1x = 3.75

x = 3.41 (approx)

Thus gas prices 6 months ago be $ 3.41 (approx )

Hence proved

step-by-step explanation:

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)
