Answer:
p = - 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rules of exponents
÷
= 
= 
Note 81 = 9² and 729 = 9³
Given
÷ 
=
÷ 
=
÷ 
= 
= 
= 
Thus
= 
Since bases on both sides are equal then equate the exponents
4p = 3p - 14 ( subtract 3p from both sides )
p = - 14
Answer:
w = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
6w + 4w - 9 + 6 = 9w - 7+ 6
6w + 4w - 9w = - 7 + 6 + 9 - 6
w = 2
Since sale is 40% so the price is 60%
61*(60%) = 36.6
the tax is 5%
so the price after tax is: 36.6 * (1 +5%) = $38.43
