To combine like terms and single out one term to take it easier to solve, the 6x was moved to the other side to combine like terms.
Subtracting 6x from 10x which is 4x
Answer:
<em>The tax is $1.54 and the price after tax is $31.54</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Percentages</u>
The procedure to add a percentage ratio p to a given quantity q is:
* Calculate the increase as i = p*q/100
* Add the increase to the original quantity to get the final quantity f=q + i
It's given the sales tax rate in New Mexico is p=5.125%. A pair of pants in New Mexico costs q=$30 before tax.
* The increase (tax) is i = (5.125*30)/100 = $1.54
* The price after tax is f = $30 + $1.54 = $31.54
The tax is $1.54 and the price after tax is $31.54
Answer:
-23
Step-by-step explanation:
As I increases by 18, y decreases by 12. From the last value in the table, I needs to increase by 2·18 for it to become zero. Hence the y-intercept will be 2·12 less than the last value in the table:
1 - 2·12 = -23 . . . the y-intercept
