Answer:A
Step-by-step explanation:
-8=a(2+5)^2 + 41
-8=a x 7^2 + 41
-8=a x 7 x 7 +41
-8=49a+41
Collect like terms
-8-41=49a
-49=49a
Divide both sides by 49
-49/49=49a/49
-1=a
a=-1

Answer:
Gabriel needs to have $3.75 for sales tax.
Step-by-step explanation:
A sales tax rate of 6.25% means that 6.25 cents is going to be charged for tax for each dollar you spend. (Because 6.25% of $1.00 is 6.25 cents.)
If he was spending $10, the sales tax would be 62.5 cents (6.25 cents per dollar x 10 dollars). Since he is spending $60 on this item, the equation would be (6.25 cents per dollar x 60 dollars) (6.25 cents x 60 = 375 cents).
And 375 cents equals $3.75.
Let's give Cindy's age a variable.
Cindy's age = x
Cindy multiplies her age by 5
x(5)
Subtracted by 12
x(5) - 12
Divide by 3
(5x - 12)/3
The result was 16
(5x - 12)/3 = 16
Let's solve
Multiply both sides by 3
(5x - 12) = 48
Open brackets
5x - 12 = 48
Add 12 to both sides
5x = 60
Divide by 5 on both sides to isolate x
x = 12
Cindy is 12 years old.
