24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)
Eliminate the parentheses: 24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)
24 + 3x = 3x + 18
Subtract 3x from each side: <em>24 = 18</em>
Look at that for a second. Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.
That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."
Step-by-step explanation:
If were estimating, 39 is pretty close to 40 and 40x6 is 240 pounds. if we are getting exact about it, then 234 pounds
Answer
Find out the what was the price of the stereo .
To prove
Let us assume that the price of the stereo be x .
As given
Consumer Math The sales tax in the town where Amanda lives is 7%.
7% is written in the decimal form

= 0.07
As given
Amanda paid $35 in sales tax on a new stereo .
Than the equation becomes
x × 0.07 = 35

solving the above
x = $ 500
Therefore the price of the stereo is $ 500 .
Hence proved
