Answer:

$\boxed{x=5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to combine like terms in order to begin simplifying. This is done by subtracting 2x from 6x. Also, add 7 to 23.

6x + 10 - 2x = 7 + 23

4x + 10 = 7 + 23

4x + 10 = 30

Now, you have a two-step equation. Subtract 10 from both sides, and then divide by 4.

4x + 10 = 30

4x = 20

x = 5 is the final answer.

The sales tax in one state is 6 percent, Write a function rule for finding the total cost for an item with selling price x, then

Debora [2.8K]

Sales tax = 6% or 6/100.
assuming tax is added onto the item:
total cost function f(x) = price + tax
however, assuming the cost price = sales price - tax, then:
f(x) = sales price - tax
This is not really a business or accounting forum, its a maths forum, so you need to be clearer about business or accounting terms such as total cost, selling price, selling cost.
