How to tax things:
In this case, lets say the state tax is 7%.
Shen you buy something, lets say some shoes. For example lets say the price is 60.99
With the 7% tax, move the decimal point two times to the left: 7 -> .07
Multiply .07 by the total price
60.99 * .07 = 4.27
Then add this amount to the total price
60.99 + 4.27 = 65.26
This is how you tax
Answer:
The solution is the <u><em>answer </em></u>or the number <u><em>behind the = sign</em></u>
EX::6x+4 (x=7) 6(7)+4=46....46 would be the <u><em>solution</em></u>
125/12 would be your equivalent improper fraction
When you have this type of problem, you need to combine the like-terms and isolate the variable.
3x + 122 = 22x - 11
Add 11 to both sides to get rid of it
3x + 122 + 11 = 22x - 11 + 11 (-11 + 11=0)
3x + 133 = 22x
Then you would bring the 3x to the other side, so subtract 3x from both sides
3x + 133 = 22x
-3x -3x
133 = 22x - 3x
133 = 19x
Then divide both sides by 19 to isolate x
133/19 = 19x/19
133/19 = 7, so x = 7
Hope this helps!!
