Let us take the second equation first
2a + 2b = 6
Dividing both sides by 2 we get
a + b = 3
a = 3 - b
Putting the value of a in the first equation we get
3a + 4b = 9
3(3 - b) + 4b = 9
9 - 3b + 4b = 9
b = 9 - 9
= 0
Now putting the value of b in the second equation we get
a + b = 3
a + 0 = 3
a = 3
So the value of the unknown variable a is 3 and the value of the unknown variable b is 0.
3x-8+6x=7
9x-8=7
9x=15
x=9/15
x=3/5
Answer:
Solving the inequality
we get 
Option D is correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to solve the inequality
and find value of x
Solving the inequality for finding value of x, we will keep x on left side of inequality and all other terms on the right side.

Adding 2 on both sides

Now, we will divide 3 on both sides

So, we get x < 2
Solving the inequality
we get 
Option D is correct option.
First you need to find how much 20% of $18.50 is. To do this, you need to multiply 18.50 by 20% which in decimal form is 0.2
$18.50x0.2=$3.70
Now you need to subtract $3.70 from $18.50
$18.50-$3.70=$14.80
Now that you have the new price, you need to find 6.75% of it to get the sales tax, so you multiply $14.80 by 6.75%, which is 0.0675 as a decimal.
$14.80x0.0675=$0.999 or $1
Now you add the sales tax to $14.80
$14.80+$1=$15.80 or $14.80+$0.999=$15.799
