Ede4ka [16]
Since we are looking for the principal amount, then all we have to do is reverse the process of getting the amount of tax. In order to get the principal, you just have to divide 22 with 0.05. The answer is 440 so that is the principal amount you are looking for.

8) Find x if m m<br> i’m
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The two angles with x in their numerical value are added to get 108

Solution

10x + 2 + 4x + 8 = 108                Collect like terms

14x + 10 = 108                             Subtract l0 from both sides.

14x + 10 -10 = 108 - 10                Collect like terms

14x = 98                                      Divide by 14

x = 98/14

x = 7
