Answer: $48
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that in Michigan, the sales tax rate is 6% and that an item costs $50.88 including tax.
Let the cost of the item before tax be x. This means that x plus 6% of x equals to $50.88. This can be mathematically expressed as:
x + (6% of x) = $50.88
x + (6/100 × x) = $50.88
x + (0.06 × x) = $50.88
x + 0.06x = $50.88
1.06x = $50.88
When then divide by the coefficient of x
1.06x/1.06 = #50.88/1.06
x = $48
The price before the tax is $48
 
        
             
        
        
        
So what you do is distribute the invisible -1 in front of the second parenthasees set and add like terms
remember
x^2+3x^2=4x^2
-(3+4x-x^2)=-1(3x+4x-x^2)=-3-4x+x^2
so first distribute the negative 1
-1(-4f^2-3f+6)=4f^2+3f-6
add
12f^2-9f+15+4f+3f-6
group like terms
12f^2+4f^2-9f+3f+15-6
add 
16f^2-6f+9
aswer is 16f^2-6f+9
        
             
        
        
        
From the problem description, we can construct an algebraic equation for the situation. Let S be the salary and x be the number of employees.
S = kx
where k is the proportionality constant
Using variation,
k = S₁/x₁ = S₂/x₂
Substituting,
34000/12 ? 36000/16
2833.33 ? 2250
Thus,
2833.33 ≠ 2250
