55.50 = .08 * w
55.50 * .08 = 4.44
55.50 + 4.44 = $59.94
w= $59.94 is the total cost of the supplies

I need help plz help

We know

$\boxed{\sf cos\Theta=\dfrac{b}{h}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto cos22=\dfrac{x}{47}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.9=\dfrac{x}{47}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=47(0.9)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=42.3$

Terms/Coefficients

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

3(x - 2) + 8 = 2(x + 5)

Step 2: Solve for x

(Parenthesis) Distribute: 3x - 6 + 8 = 2x + 10
Combine like terms: 3x + 2 = 2x + 10
{Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides: x + 2 = 10
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2 on both sides: x = 8

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x: 3(8 - 2) + 8 = 2(8 + 5)
(Parenthesis) Subtract/Add: 3(6) + 8 = 2(13)
Multiply: 18 + 8 = 26
Add: 26 = 26

Here we see that 26 does indeed equal 26.

∴ x = 8 is the solution to the equation.
