You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us 
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427

When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.

To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7

So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%

Hi, I'm often really slow at learning math and my condition makes it harder, can someone help me?
NARA [144]
The answer: 0, 4/5 and 5


Explanation: first, we factor out 2x and get: 2x(5x^2-29x+20)=0

In order for this equation to be equal to zero, either 2x must equal to zero or (5x^2-29x+20) must equal to zero

Having said that, if:
2x = 0
X=0

If:
(5x^2-29x+20) = 0
X=4/6, x=5
