Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
2x/3 + 1 = 7x/15 + 3
<em><u>(times everything in the equation by 3 to get rid of the first fraction)</u></em>
2x + 3 = 21x/15 + 9
<em><u>(times everything in the equation by 15 to get rid of the second fraction)</u></em>
30x+ 45 = 21x + 135
<em><u>(subtract 21x from 30x; subtract 45 from 135)</u></em>
9x = 90
<em><u>(divide 90 by 9)</u></em>
x = 10
<h2>
Another solution:</h2>
2x/3 + 1 = 7x/15 + 3
<u><em>(find the LCM of 3 and 15 = 15)</em></u>
<u><em>(multiply everything in the equation by 15, then simplify)</em></u>
10x + 15 = 7x + 45
<u><em>(subtract 7x from 10x; subtract 15 from 45)</em></u>
3x = 30
<em><u>(divide 30 by 3)</u></em>
x = 10
Subtract to find the amount of tax paid:
1890 - 1800 = 90
Divide the amount of tax by the price of the computer:
90 / 1800 = 0.05
Multiply the decimal by 100:
0.05 x 100 = 5%
The tax rate is 5%

Question 16
Given that two golfers completed one round of golf.
It is stated that the first golfer had a score of +6 and the second golfer had a score of -3.
- Let suppose 'x' be the number of shots the first golfer took.
It is clear that the first golfer is 6 over par, while the second golfer is under 3.
Thus, the equation becomes:
adding -3 to both sides
simplify
Thus, the second golfer has taken 9 more shorts.
Question 17
When we talk about credit, it means:
Credit = +
When we talk about debt, it means:
Debit = -
Thus,
Credit = +84
Debt = -29
Balance = 84 + (-29)
= 84 - 29
= 55
Thus, the balance is: 55
Y = -41.
EXPLANATION.
if -5 is the midpoint, it must be -5 + 36.
Because there is 36 numbers between 31 and -5.
So -5 + 36 = -41.
