Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 3) - 2(x + 6) = -5

Distribute

x-3 -2x-12 = -5

Combine like terms

-x -15 = -5

Add 15 to each side

-x-15+15 = -5+15

-x=10

Multiply each side by -1

x= -10

torisob [31]

Let x = total sales of baked goods remember 20% = .20 as a decimal

so the equation would be .20x = $600

divide both sides by .20

.20x/.20 = $600/.20

x = $3000 the total sales of baked goods

CHECK: 20% times $3000 = .20 times $3000 = $600
