Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

I always change the decimals into whole numbers by multiplying them by 10.  If you do this, it is much easier to solve.  All you do is multiply every term by 10.

the equation changes to

-5(x+3)-2x=41

-5x-15-2x=41

combine like terms

-7x-15=41

bring the 15 over to the 41

-7x=56

divide everything by 7

-x=8

change x to a positive

x=-8

Explain the process for determining sales tax and total purchase price.
rewona [7]

Answer:

Multiply the decimal for the percent of tax by the purchase price, then add the amount of tax to the price to find the total price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales tax is an amount added to a price to get the total.

We multiply by the decimal for the percent; this means we divide the percent by 100 before we multiply.

Once we multiply, this gives us the amount of sales tax.  We add this to the price of the item to get the total purchase price.

patriot [66]

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To change minutes to hours you will have to divide the total minutes by 60 (because 60 minutes is in one hour), in this situation it would look like this:

180/60 = 3

So, Alexa babysat for 3 hours on Saturday.

Now, just add the 3 hours from Saturday and 2 hours from Sunday and you get a total of 5 hours!
