15/100=0.15
60*0.15=9
60-9=$52 after discount
What are you trying to prove here? I know when step will be the use of the Transitive Property. If a=b, and b=c, then a=c.
Factor out the trinomial. Find factors of x² and 6 that would, when added, give you 5x
x² = x * x
6 = 3 * 2
(x + 3)(x + 2) are your binomials.
To solve for x, set each parenthesis = 0
x + 3 = 0
x + 3 (-3) = 0 (-3)
x = -3
x + 2 = 0
x + 2 (-2) = 0 (-2)
x = -2
x = -3, -2
hope this helps
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Remembert that, by definition:
→ 
Then, you can rewrite 
in exponential form:
Now you can solve for the variable "x":
Add 6 to both sides of the equation:
And finally you must divide both sides of the equation by 2, then:
Tax is 1.54
Including tax = 39.99
Excluding tax= 38.5
Hope this helps
