Answer:

$51.70 is the original price

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Turn 40% into a decimal which makes it 0.40

ex. 50% would be 0.50, 5% would be 0.05 etc.

Step 2:

Put the numbers into this formula: Original Price (x) - Percent Off times Original Price = Sales Price

x - 0.40x = 31.02 this is basically 1x - 0.40x = 31.02 so,

Solving the left side of our equation gives us 1x - 0.40x = 0.60x

so now you have: 0.60x = 31.02

Step 3:

Divide both sides by 0.60 which gets x by itself and gives us the original price which is $51.70

Simplify the expression. State any excluded values.<br><br> x^ 2 - 36/42x - 7x^ 2

REY [17]

Consider the expression $x^2-\dfrac{36}{42}x-7x^2.$

This expression contains two terms with $x^2,$ group them:

$x^2-7x^2=x^2(1-7)=-6x^2.$

Now simplify term $\dfrac{36}{42}x=\dfrac{6}{7}x.$

Now $x^2-\dfrac{36}{42}x-7x^2=-6x^2-\dfrac{6}{7}x=6\left(-x^2-\dfrac{1}{7}x\right)=-6x\left(x-\dfrac{1}{7}\right).$

This expression is defined for all x.
