x + -1.4 = 7.82
Reorder the terms:
-1.4 + x = 7.82
Solving
-1.4 + x = 7.82
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '1.4' to each side of the equation.
-1.4 + 1.4 + x = 7.82 + 1.4
Combine like terms: -1.4 + 1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 7.82 + 1.4
x = 7.82 + 1.4
Combine like terms: 7.82 + 1.4 = 9.22
x = 9.22

Step-by-step explanation:
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1)
Substituting d = - 3 in equation (1), we find:
Hence, first term is zero.
The x coordinate of the vertex will be the average of the two zeros, here -3 and 5, so x=(-3+5)/2 = 1, f(1)=(1+3)(1-5) = -16.
Answer: (1, -16)
Let's do it some other ways. How about completing the square to turn f in to vertex form?
f(x) = (x+3)(x-5) = x² - 2x - 15 = (x² - 2x + 1) - 1 - 15 = (x-1)² - 16
and now we can read off (1, -16) as the vertex.
The other method is the vertex is x= - b/2a = - (-2)/2(1) = 1.
Three methods, same answer. Good.
Divide.
32/1.92=~16.67
The tax is roughly 16.67%
