Lisa’s home is currently worth $150,000. When she purchased it five years ago, it was worth $180,000. Find the percent of change and classify as a percent increase or decrease. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

16.7 percent decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference in value = 150,000 - 180,000

= -30,000

As a percent this  =  (-30,000 /  180,000)   * 100

= -0.1667 * 100

= -16.67

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
