Answer:
Look Down Low
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x - 3) = 2x + 5
Multiply out the left side:
2x - 6 = 2x + 5
Subtract 2x from both sides:
-6 = 5
Since this is impossible, this "equation" cannot be solved.
Answer: $115.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The woman bought a coat for $99.95 and some gloves for $7.95. This means that the total amount of money that the woman would have paid for the coat without tax is
99. 95 + 7.95 = $107.9
If the sales tax was 7%, then the amount paid as sales tax would be
7/100 × 107.9 = 0.07 × 107.9 = $7.553
Therefore, the amount that she would pay to purchase the coat and the gloves is
107.9 + 7.553 = 115.453
= $115.5 rounded up to the nearest cent.
Answer: the number of item A that you sold is 11
the number of item B that you sold is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of item A that you sold.
Let y represent the number of item B that you sold.
The total number of item A and item B sold is 13. This means that
x + y = 13
The cost of item A is $8 and the
cost of item B is $4. The total amount if money made is $88. This means that
8x + 4y = 88 - - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 13 - y into equation 1, it becomes
8(13 - y) + 4y = 88
104 - 8y = 88
8y = 104 - 88 = 16
y = 16/8 = 2
x = 13 - y = 13 - 2 = 11
The correct answer is x=5
