Answer:
, solution is $14.29
Step-by-step explanation:
We can create an equation for this scenario to try and solve it.
Assuming the cost of the CD is x, it’s sale tax will be 0.05x (as that is 5% of x, 0.05.)
We can write the equation in two ways:
or 
.
Assuming we take the second one (easier to work with), we can divide both sides by 1.05. The equation simplifies to x = 14.289... which rounds to x = 14.29.
Therefore, the equation is and the solution is $14.29.

Answer:
x = 0.19 or x = -0.76
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: 7²-4x = 2
reordering the equation,
7x²-4x-2 = 0
Applying,
x = [-b±√(b²-4ac)]/2a..................... Equation 1
From the question,
Given: a = 7, b = -4, c = -2
Substitute these values into equation 1
x = [-4±√(-4²-(2×7×-2)]/(2×7)
x = [-4±√(16+28)]/14
x = (-4±√44)/14
Either
x = (-4+√44)/14
x = (-4+6.63)/14
x = 2.63/14
x = 0.19
or
x = (-4-√44)/14
x = (-4-6.63)/14
x = -10.63/14
x = -0.76
