Answer:

x = -6

Explanation:

⇒ 9(x + 3) = 4x - 3​

apply distributive method: a(b + c) = ab + ac

⇒ 9(x) + 9(3) = 4x - 3

multiply variables

⇒ 9x + 27 = 4x - 3

collect like terms

⇒ 9x - 4x = -3 - 27

subtract like terms

⇒ 5x = -30

divide both sides by 5

⇒ x = -6

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

distribute 9(x+3) = 9x+27

9x+27 = 4x-3 subtract -27 and -4x on each side

9x-4x = -3-27 combine like terms

5x = -30 divide by 5

x = -6

A store marks up all of their merchandise by 70%. The floor price of a scarf is $117.25.
KiRa [710]

Answer:

  $68.97

Step-by-step explanation:

Markup is the difference between the cost of an item and the price at which it is sold:

  cost price + markup = selling price

Here, the markup is said to be 70%. The base for that percentage can be either the cost price or the selling price. The way this question is worded suggests the markup is 70% of the cost price.

So, we have ...

  cost price + 0.70 × cost price = selling price

or

  cost price × (1 + 0.70) = selling price

__

Then, to find the cost price, we can divide by its coefficient in this equation. Doing that gives ...

  cost price = (selling price)/1.70

  cost price = $117.25/1.70 = $68.97

The store's purchase price before the markup for this item was $68.97.
