Answer:
A closed dot means (or equal to) which i will be signifying with bold numbers
3) 2 < x > 5
4) 5 < t > 3
5) -3 < m > -1
6) -2 < x < -6 (This one feels like its not right but I cant find a better way to state it)
7) 36 > Fridge < 46

Step-by-step explanation:

Question One
The first question is just to derive a formula that represents the cost of anything bought in Idaho.
c = p + 6/100 * p
c = p + 0.6 * p
c = 1.06 p
Question Two
The second question requires an entirely different formula. You don't use the first formula. You just use it's idea. Further, you take the sales tax only when you know how much money has exchanged hands.
c = (p - 30/100 p) + 6/100*(p - 30/100 * p)
c = (p - 0.3p) + 0.06* (p - 0.3p)
c = 0.7 p + 0.06*(0.7p) Combine the right side
c = 0.7p + 0.042p Combine
c = 0.742p
33.39 = 0.742p Divide by 0.742
33.39/0,742 = p
p = 45 dollars
The original cost was 45 dollars
For this case we have the following variables:
x: number of hours that it takes Mr. David to complete a job working alone.
y: number of hours it takes Mr. Ludwing to complete a job working alone.
k: number of hours it takes for both of them to do a job working together.
We now write the equation that models the problem.
To do this, we must add the work rate per hour of each and equal to the rate of work per hour of both.

We have then:
Answer:
The algebraic expression that models the problem is:

Multiple choice, is that what you’re asking?
So the question means
what(x) is (=) half of (1/2) 8.5
or x=8.5/2
so just do the math 8/2=4 and .5/2=.25 and 4+.25=4.24
x=4.25
