This is the same as any math problem you may have solved before.
First, start by isolating the x on one side. I will choose to keep the coefficient positive, so I will add x to both sides.
6>2x+2
Subtract 2
4>2x
Divide by 2
2>x
Or
x<2
To find the sales tax rate, you need to find what percentage of the base price the difference in cost is.
First, subtract 22.99 from 24.10:
24.1-22.99=1.11
Now, divide 1.11 by 22.99:
1.11/22.99=0.0483
Multiply 0.0483 by 100 to convert the decimal to a percentage:
0.0483*100=4.83
The sales tax rate was 4.83%.
Hope this helps!!
Answer:
Since x/p³ = 1 we can multiply the equation by p³ so x = p³.
