Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
expand 4(x+5): 4x+20
2x+34=4x+20
subtract 34 from both sides
2x+34-34=4x+20-34
2x=4x-14
subtract 4x from both sides
2x-4x=4x-14-4x
-2x=-14
divide both sides by -2
-2x/-2=-14/-2
x=7
a) We have that the discount is 65 %
Scott buys a jacket for $150
First, we will calculate the discount

then we need to subtract the quantity calculated above from the original price

After the markdown Scott paid $52.5
b.
In order to know the taxes first, we need to calculate the 5% of $52.5

then we will sum the 5% plus the price after the markdown

The total cost of the jacket is $55.125
5x+25 final answer is x=5
