Answer:

The simplified answer to the given equation is -54.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we are given the value of x.

So, let's plug in this value into our expression soit can be easier to solve.

5(-2)³ - 21 + 7

First, simplify the exponents.

5(-8) - 21 + 7

Now, multiply 5 by -8.

-40 - 21 + 7

Subtract -40 from 21.

-61 + 7

Add 7 to -61.

Describe the steps in solving the linear equation 3(3x-8)=4x+6

tatiyna

Multiply everything in the parenthesis by 3.

9x - 24 = 4x + 6

Add 24 to both sides.

9x = 4x + 30

Subtract 4x from both sides.

5x = 30

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 6

Bridget purchased 3 pairs of shoes online. The total bill of $126.81 included a $7.50 shipping charge and 6% tax on the total pu

Alika [10]

Answer:

$37.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, let's set the price of each pair of shoe to be x.

Since each pair of shoes costs the same, and there are three pairs, we can set the original price to be 3x.

Now, to apply the shipping charge, all we have to do is add 7.50 to 3x, getting 3x + 7.5.

Next, to apply a 6% tax, we can multiple the whole expression by (100% + 6%), getting (3x + 7.5) $\cdot$ 106%.

Since the whole bill foots to a total of $126.81, we can set the final equation to be:

$(3x + 7.5) \cdot 106\% = $126.81$

$(3x + 7.5) \cdot \frac{106}{100} = $126.81$

$3x + 7.5 = $126.81 \cdot \frac {50}{53}$

$3x = $119.6 - 7.5$

$3x = 112.1$

$x \approx \$37$

Hope this helped!
