-----
x/100 = 5/35

Add like terms and put x in the middle.
-3 < -2x + x - 3x ≤ 5 - 2
-3 < - 4x ≤ 3
Sign changed when divide by negative numbers
(3/4) > x ≥ (-3/4)
20 * .10 = 2 <em>(2 = 10% of 20)</em>
20 + 2 = 22
20 x .07 = 1.4 <em>(1.4 = 7% of 20)</em>
20 + 1.4 = 21.4
The price of a 20$ haircut with a 10% tax would be $22.
The price of a 20$ haircut with a 7% tax would be $21.40.
