so to find 15% of 54,237, we use this equation: (x/54237) = (15/100) where x is the amount of income tax.
cross multiply: 100x = 813555
divide each side by 100 to isolate x: 8135.55
the truck driver will pay $8135.55
When solving this equation you get x = -3.
To solve this, simply follow the order of operations for solving.
----> start by dividing both sides by 5
-----> Now you can transform the front side of the equation to use negative exponents.
Since both x and -3 are the powers of x, we can eliminate the 7 and just make the exponents equal.
-3 = x
Hey there :)
3 ( 2t + 1 )
We use what is called the distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis
We multiply the term outside the parenthesis by all terms inside
3 ( 2t ) + 3 ( 1 )
6t + 3 → Your answer
2t+5v=37 and 4t+3v=39
Solve the first for t
t=18.5-2.5v and use this t in the second equation...
4(18.5-2.5v)+3v=39
74-10v+3v=39
-7v=-35
v=$5.00 and since t=18.5-2.5v
t=$6.00
So tuna sandwiches cost $6.00 and vegetarian sandwiches cost $5.00.
