The sales tax rate is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount of sales tax = $49

Price of dining room set = $980

Sales tax rate = $\frac{Amount\ of\ sales\ tax}{Price\ of\ dining\ room\ set}*100$

Sales taxa rate = $\frac{49}{980}*100$

$Sales\ tax\ rate=\frac{4900}{980}\\Sales\ tax\ rate=5\%$

The sales tax rate is 5%.

* What is the value of x? (x + 35) (3x + 1) x = plzzz help due in 40 mins!

Answer: (x=+17)

Step-by-step explanation:

x+35=3x+1

We move all terms to the left:

x+35-(3x+1)=0

We get rid of parentheses

x-3x-1+35=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-2x+34=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-2x=-34

x=-34/-2

x=+17
