Andrea says the solution to the equation 8 + 4 = 2(x – 1) isx=8.

a. Verify is Andrea's solution is correct?

b. How do you know it is correct or not based on what you
did?

a. Andrea is incorrect

b. By solving for x, we find that x does not equal 8, but it is equal to 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

8+4=2(x-1)

8+4=2x-2

12=2x-2

14=2x

x=7

wholesale price is the initial price before markup. retail price comes after the markup.

a price of 8 bucks that's marked up by 100%   is

formula: initial price + (percent markup in fraction/decimal)(initial price)

8+(1)(8)

8+8

16

retail price is $16.
