Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
-129 = 6(7 + 7x) - 3
Distribute the 6 into the parentheses.
-129 = 42 + 42x - 3
Add like terms.
-129 = 39 +42x
Subtract 39 from both sides.
-168 = 42x
Divide 42 from both sides.
-4 = x
I can solve with 2 methods:
I. Because the discount is 15 % of 18 $ , the price will be (100-15=85) 85 % of 18 $
18*85/100= 15,3 $ ( the sale price)
II. The discount is 15 % of 18$
15*18/100= 2,7$ ( the discount)
then I decrease it from the regularly price
18$-2,7$=15,3 $ (the sale price)
Personally I believe the first is an easier method.
I hope you understand and you can apply this in every similary problem.
I believe it would be A but i could be way off
