3x-13=2
move -13 to the other side
sign changes from -13 to +13
3x-13+13=2+13
3x=2+13
3x=15
divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself
3x/3=15/3
cross out 3 and 3, divide by 3 and then becomes 1*1*x=x
x=15/3
x=5
answer:
x=5
Answer:
p(x) = 0.85x
t(x) = 1.065x
(t o p)(x) = 0.9x
$2700
Step-by-step explanation:
If the marked price is $x, then the function p(x) that gives the price of the riding lawn mower after 15% discount will be

where x is the marked price.
Now, the function that gives the total cost with sales tax will be given by

where x is the discounted price.
Therefore, the composite function that gives the total cost of the riding lawn mower on sale is given by
(t o p)(x) = 1.065(0.85x) = 0.9x ............ (1)
where x is the marked price.
If the marked price x = $3000, then Mr. Rivera has to pay for the riding lawn mower, from equation (1),
(t o p)(3000) = 0.9 × 3000 = 2700 dollars. (Answer)

Because tax is an additional charge to the original amount therefor it is simply an increase
