I gotchu.
3x-9x+6=20-3x+4x
Combine like terms.
-6x+6=20+x
Bring x over to the left side.
-x -x
-7x+6=20
bring 6 to the right side.
-6 -6
-7x=14
Divide -7 on both sides to isolate x.
x= -2

CHECK
3x-9x+6=20-3x+4x
-6(-2)+6=20+(-2)
18=18
ANSWER: x= -2

Answer:

$4.37 cash outlay

$29.37 total amount paid, partly with gift card

Step-by-step explanation:

The discount was ...

0.15 × $32.30 = $4.845 ≈ $4.85

So the price to which tax is added is ...

$32.30 -4.85 = $27.45

The amount of tax is 7% of this value, or ...

tax = $27.45 × 0.07 = $1.9215 ≈ $1.92

So, payment is made on the amount ...

$27.45 + 1.92 = $29.37

$29.37 is the total amount paid.

If $25 is paid using a gift card, then the cash outlay is $4.37.

_____

Usually only a single coupon can be applied to a given purchase. Since the 15% store discount exceeds the amount of the 5% coupon left at home, it makes more sense to claim the 15% store discount and save the 5% coupon for another time.

Alternate interpretation

If, by some magic, both discounts could be applied, then the amount to be paid is $27.65, of which $2.65 exceeds the gift card amount. The calculation proceeds the same way, except that 20% is used instead of 15%.

Data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services indicates that the annual per capita out-of-pocket expenses for health

Talja [164]

Answer:

During the year 2021.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have a function that defines the annual per capita out-of-pocket expenses for health care, we can work with it.

Knowing that, we clear x (this is the number of years past the year 2000, so it will contain our desired information).

$y=39.6x+543\Leftrightarrow x=\frac{y-543}{39.6}$

Now, as we want to know when are the per capita out-of-pocket expenses for health care predicted to be $1400, and this total is our variable y, then

$x=\frac{1400-543}{39.6}\approx 21.6$

Finally, we know that x is the number of years past the year 2000, so the answer is that during the year 2021, the per capita out-of-pocket expenses for health care are predicted to be $1400.
