$21.00
let the original price = 100%
then the discount price = 100 - 15 = 85%
divide $17.85 by 85 to obtain 1% then multiply by 100 to obtain original price.
original price = $17.85 × 
= $21
Answer:
5.77428 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helps
This is the equation: 3x-2=5x+15
<span>you combine like terms: 3x-3x-2=5x-3x+15 </span>
<span>the 3x on the left cancles out: -2=2x+15 </span>
<span>subtract 15 on both sides: -2-15=2x+15-15 </span>
<span>the 15 on the right cancles out:--17=2x </span>
<span>divide by 2: -17/2=2x/2 </span>
<span>x equals negative 8.5: x=-8.5</span>
Answer:
If the first number is x and y is the second number
x = 11
y = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the first number and y is the second number then:
x + 7 = y
The sum of the two numbers is expressed as:
x + y = 29
In order to find what the two numbers are, use what you know. According to the first equation, y equals the first number(x) plus 7, so you can substitute that for the y in the second equation
x + y = 29
x + (x + 7) = 29
2x + 7 = 29
2x + 7 - 7 = 29 - 7
2x/2 = 22/2
That means x equals 11
Now that x is known, you can find the value for y. The second number(y) is 7 more than than the first number(x) so that means x + 7 = y
11 + 7 = y
y = 18
