You would combine the 3x - 5x since they both have a variable leaving you with 8-8x=-8 then you would subtract the positive 8 from the negative 8 because you want to get the variable alone. this leaves you with -8x=-16 then to get the variable alone you would divide by -8 giving you x=2

liberstina [14]

First, write the rate as a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left from the percent.

r = 5% = 0.05

C = p + rp

C = 30.99 + 0.05 * 30.99

C = 30.99 + 1.55

C = 32.54

Answer: The total cost is $32.54

Answer:

standard form for a quadratic expression

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic expression. If you want this expression in standard form, write the terms in descending order of powers of x: -2x^2 + 1.

This -2x^2 + 1 has not yet been factored.

-2x^2 + 1 is in standard form.
