Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
x−(3)(3=x+−9 )
Turn each number into the product of it's prime factors.
32=16x2=2x2x2x2x2=2^5
48=24*2=6x4x2=2x3x2x2x2
Pick the highest number that occurs. In this case it is 2. Now we have to see how many times it appears in both. It appears 5 times in 32 and 4 times in 48. 4 is the highest number of times it appears in the numbers so:
2^4=2x2x2x2=16
The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 32 and 48 is 16.
Let p = the normal price.
Then 7(p - .75)= 2.80
Divide by 7: p - .75 = .40 and p = 1.15
Answer:

» Collect like terms, r terms on the left hand side by subtracting r from both sides and adding st to both sides

» On the left hand side, factorise out r
