Answer:
To find the sales tax multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. Remember to convert the sales tax rate from a percent to a decimal number. Once the sales tax is calculated, it is added to the purchase price. The result is the total cost—this is what the customer pays.
Step-by-step explanation:
You will need to work left to right.
p - 10p + -5p +14p - -9p - 2 = -20
-9p + -5p +14p - -9p - 2 = -20
-14p +14p - -9p - 2 = -20
0p- -9p - 2 = -20
9p - 2 = -20
Then you will want to eliminate 2 by adding it to both sides
9p = -18
Then divide by 9 to isolate P
p=-2
Linear pair angles have too add to 180, so
5x+9+3x+11=180
8x+20=180
8x=160
x=20
so angle S is 5*20+9 = 109
angle T is 3*20+11 = 71
