Answer:

The original price was 780.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the computer

The sales tax is x* .08

The total price is x + .08x = 1.08x

This is equal to 842.50

1.08x = 842.50

Divide each side by 1.08

1.08x/1.08=842.50/1.08

x =780.09

The original price was 780.09

If <br>4x+(y+x)=180<br>what is x? what is y?

uysha [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

$4x+(y+x)=180\\\\\text{Solve for}\ x:\\\\4x+y+x=180\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(4x+x)+y=180\qquad\text{subtract}\ y\ \text{from both sides}\\\\5x=180-y\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\dfrac{5x}{5}=\dfrac{180-y}{5}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{180-y}{5}}\\\\\text{Solve for}\ y:\\\\5x+y=180\qquad\text{subtract}\ 5x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\\boxed{y=180-5x}$

5. Solve each equation.<br>a.<br>6(3x - 5) - 7x = 25

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6(3x−5)−7x=25

(6)(3x)+(6)(−5)+−7x=25(Distribute)

18x+−30+−7x=25

(18x+−7x)+(−30)=25(Combine Like Terms)

11x+−30=25

11x−30=25

Step 2: Add 30 to both sides.

11x−30+30=25+30

11x=55

Step 3: Divide both sides by 11.

x=5
