Answer:
-9+x=-20
Step-by-step explanation:
I am not so positive on this one, but if you are not doing inequalities, then this should be correct.
"More than" would insinuate that you are adding. In this class, you would have a number to replace that x, but since no number was given, you place the x in its place. x=-11, because when you "add" -9 with something to get -20, it would have to be -11. Negative numbers can be confusing because when you subtract a negative number by another negative, you end up with a negative. Like in this case. Normally, you would just put -11, so it would look like -9 - 11 = -20. But since this says "more than", unless you are doing inequalities, you add.
If you are doing inequalities, then your answer should be this:
-9 > x = -20
I hope this helps!

X = cost of car before tax
Total cost = (cost of car before tax) + (tax amount)
Total cost = x + 5% of x
Total cost = x + 0.05x
Total cost = 1.05x
The total cost is given to be $14,512, which means
<span>Total cost = 1.05x = 14512
</span>
1.05x = 14512
1.05x/1.05 = 14512/1.05
x = 13,820.95238
x = 13,820.95
The total cost of the car before tax, to the nearest cent, is $13,820.95

Step-by-step explanation:
Look at image above...
I did not add this to the picture but to get the new total of $137.03, you need to subtract $205.54 (the 60% off) from the original total.
