Answer: desktop = $1750, laptop = $1900
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the cost of the desktop
then x + 150 is the cost of the laptop.
.07x + .055(x + 150) = 227
.07x + .055x + 8.25 = 227
.125x = 218.75
x = 1750
desktop (x) = $1750
laptop (x + 150) = $1750 + $150 = $1900
Well 1/40 is 0.025 so that should be the write fraction to use
Let's solve your equation step-by-step
16.8-(-23.72)-31.3=x
Step 1:simplify both sides of the equation
16.8-(-23.72)-31.3=x
16.8+23.72+-31.3=x
(16.8+23.72+-31.3)=x (combine like terms)
9.22=x
9.22=x
Step 2: flip the equation
Answer: x=9.22
