Answer:
15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
5 3/4 - 1/6x = 4 1/2
move the variable to it's own side.
5 3/4 - 4 1/2 = 1/6x
change the subtracting side to have common denominators
5 3/4 - 4 2/4 = 1/6x
1 1/4 = 1/6 x
divide both sides by 1/6, same thing as multiplying both sides by 6 (reciprocal)
30/4 = x
reduce: 15/2 = x
6% tax means 6% of $3.50
Convert 6% to decimal (move decimal 2 spots to the left): 6% ⇒ .06
Multiply 3.50 with .06 = .21 <-- That's .21 cents of 3.50
That means you have to pay an extra 21 cents. Add that to the $3.50 you had to pay.
$3.50 + $0.21 = $3.71 <-- Price after tax
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Sample Equation: 3x - 3 = 27
Multiple step:
3x - 3 = 27
<u> + 3 +3</u> Step1. Remove the -3 by adding 3 to both sides
3x = 30
<u>÷3 ÷ 3</u> Step2. Remove the multiplicand 3 by dividing both sides by 3
x = 10
To check: substitute x by its value
3x - 3 = 27
3(10) - 3 = 27
30 - 3 = 27
27 = 27
