The answer to the question is -50
Given:
Discount = 40%
Sales tax = 7%
To find:
The total cost of levi jeans with an original price of x.
Solution:
Let x be the original price of the jeans. Then the price after 40% discount is




The price after 7% of sales tax.




Therefore, the total cost of the levi jeans with an original price of x is represented by the expression 0.642x.
You have to combine like numbers
y-4x-1(1-6x)+3y+x
4y -4x-(1-6x)+x
4y - 4x - 1 + 6x + x
4y + 3x - 1
1,096.79
because
700*(1+.05/12)
Answer and explanation:
The wrong step <u>is changing the sign in step 2</u>
Such that; in step 1 the student had; (x + 6) and (x - 2)
In step 2, the student should have;
x + 6 = 0 and x - 2 = 0 instead of x - 6 = 0 and x + 2 = 0
Step 3, will thus be;
x = -6 and x = 2
