Answer: x = 14/23
Step-by-step explanation:
3x-6=4(2-3x)-8x
3x-6=8-12x-8x --> Expand 4(2-3x)
3x-6=8-20x --> Collect like terms
3x-6+6=8-20x+6 --> Add 6 to both sides, to remove it from the right side
3x=-20x+14
3x+20x=-20x+14+20x --> Add 20x to both sides, to remove it from the left side
23x=14
--> Divide both sides by 23
x = 14/23
The correct statement is Sara can afford to purchase the items because the final price of the items is $60.
The first step is to determine the total cost of the items Sara wants to buy. The total cost can be determined by adding the cost of the items together.
Total cost = $14.95 + $25.49 + $35.79 = $76.23
The second step is to determine the cost of the items after the discount.
Price of the items = total cost x (1 - discount)
= total cost x (1 - 1/4)
total cost x 3/4
$76.23 x 3/4 = $57.17
The third step is to determine the cost of the items after tax.
Cost = (1.05) x $57.17 =$60.03
