See the attached picture:
First subtract 3 from both sides of the equal sign.
9s + 3 = 57
- 3 -3
9s = 54
Then divide both sides by 9.
9s = 54
/9 /9
s = 6
You can check it by plugging it back into the equation.
9s + 3 = 57
9 * 6 + 3= 57
54 + 3 = 37
57 = 57
Yep! It's correct! :)
Hope that helped. Algebra can be tricky sometimes I know but it's really just balancing equations.

Answer:
The retail price is $103.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Markdowns are, to be simple, when the price goes DOWN, so the price would be less than the original rather than more. First, you must calculate what one percent of the original is, which is 1.40. As the markdown is 26 percent, you can do 1.40 x 26 to get how much was marked down, which is $36.40. To find the new price now, you must do the original minus the markdown, or 140 - 36.40 in this case. This gives you $103.6 as the retail price.
I hope this helped! :D
