Answer:

The price of the camera before tax would be $ 87.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the camera before tax,

Given,

The percentage of tax = 6 %,

So, the amount of tax = 6 % of the price before tax

= 6 % of x

= 0.06x

According to the question,

The amount of tax = $ 5.25

\implies 0.06x = 5.25

\implies x=\frac{5.25}{0.06}=87.5

Hence, the price of the camera before tax is $ 87.5.

$87.50x.06=$5.25 tax
so it's the tax ($5.25/0.06)

Diego works at a warehouse that ships two types of packages, a red package weighing 4 pounds and a blue package weighing 6 pound
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Red =x   Blue = y

1)  4x + 6y = 180

2)  x + y = 40

solve for x in eq. 2 and plug into eq. 1

2a)  x=40-y

1a)  4(40-y) + 6y = 180

160-4y +6y = 180

2y=20

y=10

plug into eq. 2

x + 10 =40

x=30

30 red packages

;)  maybe a late Christmas gift.. :D

What are the solutions to the equation x2 = 289?
artcher [175]
Because this is a second degree equation you will have 2 solutions.  When you take the square root of a number you have to account for both the positive and negative roots.  Since the square root of 289 is 17 then your solutions are +17 and -17.

2. 3x=-15          Subtraction Property of equality  ( since we subtract 1 from                         each side)

3. X=-5          Division Property  ( since we divide each side by 3)
