A house has increased in value by 35% since it was purchased. If the current value is $297,000, what was the value when it was purchased? ​

$260,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Given the problem above, we solve for original value

Hence, in this case, we are given

percentage (35%) and the New Value ($351,000).

We can substitute this into the formula and solve for X

Let X be the original price, Hence, X = 100%

Therefore, $351000 = 135%

Divide both sides by 135

351000÷ 135 = 135÷135

2600 = 1%

Multiply both sides by 100

2600 * 100 = 1% * 100

$260000 = 100% = X

Hence, final answer is $260000

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
