X=the number we have to find.
This expression "2(x+9)" is when the sum of a number and nine is doubled.
If the result is seven less than the number, we will have: x-7

We can suggest the following equation:
2(x+9)=(x-7)
2x+18=x-7
2x-x=-7-18
x=-25

answer: the number would be:  -25.

maria [59]

Answer:

$1.00

Tax to be paid = 5.5% of $18.20

=0.055 \times \$18.20\\=\$1.00 $(correct to the nearest cent)

The amount you need to pay as tax is $1.00.
