2*(x-5) = -33, so x-5 = -16.5, so x = -11.5
This is assuming that "the difference between a and b" is a-b, which seems to be the accepted interpretation.
Answer:
The price of the cell phone without the coupon= $500
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Express discounted amount
The discounted amount can be expressed as a function of the original cost of the phone as follows;
D=r×A
where;
D=discounted amount
r=coupon rate
A=original price of the cell phone before the coupon
In our case;
r=45%=45/100=0.45
A=a
replacing;
Discounted amount=(0.45×a)=0.45 a
Step 2: Amount she pays up
Amount she pays=Original cost of cell phone-discounted amount
where;
Amount she pays= $275
original cost of cell phone=a
discounted amount=0.45 a
replacing;
$275=a-0.45 a
0.55 a=275
a=275/0.55
a=500
The price of the cell phone without the coupon= $500

Answer:
$31.18
Step-by-step explanation:
14.50 x 2 = 29
29 x 0.075 = 2.175
29 + 2.175 = 31.175
Round up to 31.18
2/7 ( k+5/8) = 2 and 2/7
2/7 (k+5/8) = 16/7 |multiply by 7
2(k+5/8) = 16 |divide by 2
k+5/8 = 8 |subtract 5/8
k=8-5/8 = 7 and 3/8 = 27/8 = 7.375
