First, set up what you know. Twice the sum of a number and seven means: 2x+7. Three times the difference of the number and 8 is 3(x-8).
Set both of them equal to each other and you'll get this:
2x+7 = 3(x-8)
Afterwards just follow through with algebra.
2x+7 = 3x - 24
2x + 31 = 3x
31 = 3x - 2x
31 = x
Afterwards check your work to see if it is correct.
2(31) + 7 = 3( 31 - 8 )
62 + 7 = 3(23)
69 = 69
The first one and the second one are the correct sums
Alex is correct the book would cost $18.52 before taxes adding 10% tax the book would cost an additional $1.85 for a total of $20.37. This would be just under the $21.00 that both Alex and Laura had to spend. Laura tried to combined the 35% discount which you cannot do. So yes they both would be able to purchase the book.
