Let x= original number
equation: 2x+24=2/7 x
move 2x over to the other side of the equation to get 24=-12/7 x. Then, multiply both sides of the equation by -7/12 to isolate the variable.
The final answer should be x=-14
Answer: b is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
$6.89
The book is $10. Minus the 35% discount ($10X0.35=$3.50). So the subtotal is $10-$3.50=$6.50.
Tax is 6%. So 0.06X$6.50=$0.39
The total including tax is $6.50+$0.39=$6.89
