Let's say the price without tax of the car is "x", then you add 5% of "x" and it becomes $26,708.

now, if we take "x" to be the 100% of the price, and then adding a 5% of "x" will simply give us a 100 + 5 = 105%, and that's what 26,708 is, thus, 26,708 is the 105%, and if "x" is the 100%, what is "x" anyway?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
x&100\\
26708&105
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{26708}=\cfrac{100}{105}\implies x=\cfrac{26708\cdot 100}{105}

Help please!!!

Answer:

x = \frac{7+\sqrt{47}\times i }{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To solve quadratic systems,we always substitute one variable in terms if the other and then solve the equation.</u>

x + 2y = 6                                 ---------------(1)

y - 5 = (x-2)^{2}         ---------------(2)

y = (x-2)^{2} + 5         ---------------(3)

Substitute (3) in (1) ,

x + 2( (x-2)^{2} + 5 ) = 6

(a + b)^{2} =a^{2} + 2ab + b^{2}

x + 2( x^{2} - 4x + 4 + 5 ) = 6

2x^{2} - 7x + 12=0      --------------(4)

The roots of the quadratic equation ax^{2}  +bx+c is

x = \frac{(-b) + \sqrt{(-b)^{2}-4 \times ac }  }{2 \times a}  -----------(5)

According to equation (5),solution of (4) is

x =  \frac{7 + \sqrt{(-7)^{2}-4 \times 24 }  }{2 \times 2}

x =  \frac{7+\sqrt{49-96}}{4}

x = \frac{7+\sqrt{47}\times i }{4}
