Question 121722
(1/2 x) - 2 = (1/3(x-2))

(1-4x)/2x = 1/(3x-6)
Cross-multiply to get:
(1-4x)(3x-6) = 2x
3x-6-12x^2+24x = 2x 
12x^2-25x+6 = 0
x = [25 +- sqrt(625-4*12*6)]/24
x = [25 +- sqrt(337)]/24
x = [25 +- 18.3576]/24
x = 1.8066 or x = 0.2768
===========================


The other is...

What was the MSRP for a Hummer H1 that sold for $107,272 after an 8% discount?
Let MSRP be "x".
x - 0.08x = 107,272
0.92x = 107.272
x = $116,600.00
