Let x represent the cost of book B
Book A: $17.50
Book B: x
Sales tax: (A + B) x 6% = .06(17.50 + x) = 1.05 + .06x
book A + book B + sales tax = total cost
(17.50) + (x) + (1.05 + .06x) = 44.52 <em>plugged in all of the values</em>
18.55 + 1.06x = 44.52 <em>added like terms</em>
1.06x = 25.97 <em>subtracted 18.55 from both sides</em>
x = 24.50 divided 1.06 from both sides
Answer: $24.50

Hello,
First we work out the equations:
x + y =62 will be the first equation.
2x= y +13 is the second equation.
We can first rewrite the second equation as 2x – y =13.
So we have:
x + y = 62
2x –y =13
KEEP IN MIND: With y being positive in one of the equations and negative in the other, we can combine the equations to quickly eliminate y and solve for x.
x + y = 62
+2x –y =13
3x = 75 divide both sides by 3 to get x.
x = 25
Now that we have x we can substitute the value for x, 25.
25 + y = 62 we can subtract 25 from both sides to get y.
y = 62- 25
y = 37
2(25) = 37 + 13
Therefore,
50 = 50
Have a amazing day.
A + 5 > -7....subtract 5 from both sides
a > -7 - 5
a > - 12
