You have to distribute the 7 to x and 2 so :
7x+14=2x-1
Add one to both sides (inverse operations)
7x+14=2x-1
+1 +1
7x+15=2x
Cross Cancel by subtracting 7x from both sides
7x+15=2x
-7x -7x
15=-5x
Divide by -5
15/-5= -5/-5
X= -3

Rex paid $250 in taxes to the school district that he lives in this year. This year's taxes were a 12% increase from last year.
Verizon [17]

Answer:

$223.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year the amount of taxes was x, an unknown amount. That was 100% of last year's tax cost.

This year, taxes went up by 12%, so this year the taxes are 112% of what they were last year. This year the taxes were 112% of x, and they were $250.

112% of x = 250

1.12x = 250

x = 250/1.12

x = 223.21

Answer: $223.21
