Answer:

x = $2.56

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you do the inverse of both operations, which is multiplication and subtraction. The first inverse would be addition, so 2.81 + 2.31 = 5.12. Then, the second inverse would be division, so 5.12 divided by 2 = 2.56. So therefore, x = $2.56 is the correct answer for the price in September 2006.

-6.3x+14 and 1.5x-6<br> answer in simplified form
koban [17]

Answer:

The simplified form of -6.3x+14 and 1.5x-6 is -4.8x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify the following

-6.3x+14 and 1.5x-6

it can be written as:

=(-6.3x+14) + (1.5x-6)

Adding the like terms

=(-6.3x+1.5x)+(14-6)

= (-4.8x)+(8)

= -4.8x+8

So, the simplified form of -6.3x+14 and 1.5x-6 is -4.8x+8
