Stephen is paid $25 to mow a lawn. This amount is $4 less than twice the amount he received when he first began mowing. Use the model to determine x, the amount Stephen received when he first began mowing.

$14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Determine the amount paid to him initially (x)

Analyzing the question, one after the other:

4 less than twice the amount: 2x - 4

Hence;

Substitute 25 for Amount

Add 4 to both sides

Divide both sides by 2

Hence, he received $14.5 when he first started

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.

it would not be increasing by nothing that i can see probably by 25 percent that is all i can sat\y for now if i have any thing else to say i will edit this.
