700 x 0.10 = 70
x - 14
x - 6
700 decreased by 10 percent = 630
First write an algebraic equation for x, the number you are looking for. x-8 is the number decreased by 8 and that needs to equal 5x. x-8=5x so now subtract 5x from both sides and add 8 to both sides and we have -4x=8 so x is -2. Now we plug that back in the original English sentence. -2 decreased by 8 is -10 and 5 times -2 is negative 10.

0.9 x 13.59 = 12.231
200 x .05 = 10; 200 - 10 = 190
8-x 8-x
X divided by 4 - 10=2 x=48
700 x 0.10 = 70
The sum of x and y decreased by their product is (x + y)- xy.
x - 14
x - 6
(x/10) - 5 = 75 == ==
350 decreased by 10 percent results in 315.
700 decreased by 10 percent = 630
