Answer:
$223.21
Step-by-step explanation:
Last year the amount of taxes was x, an unknown amount. That was 100% of last year's tax cost.
This year, taxes went up by 12%, so this year the taxes are 112% of what they were last year. This year the taxes were 112% of x, and they were $250.
112% of x = 250
1.12x = 250
x = 250/1.12
x = 223.21

Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x = 6
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
2[3x - (4x - 6)] = 5(x - 6)
2[3x - 4x + 6] = 5x - 30
2[-x + 6] = 5x - 30
-2x + 12 = 5x - 30
<u>+2x </u> <u>+2x </u>
12 = 7x - 30
<u>+30 </u> <u> +30 </u>
42 = 7x

6 = x
