For this case we have to represent the following expression algebraically:
"10 less than x is -45"
So:
10 less than x is represented as:
Then, the complete expression is represented as:
Adding 10 to both sides of the equation:
Thus, the value of the variable is
Answer:
Although the information has been presented in a baffling way in this question, but I think I understood the expressions.
We have been given that price of monster truck is x dollars and there is an 13% monster truck tax.
We can express the monster truck tax amount as.
Therefore, the total amount including tax will be .
We can now match each statement with its equivalent expression as shown below
The price of Camacho’s new truck before tax = x
The amount of tax Camacho pays = 0.13x
Camacho’s total bill for the monster truck = 1.13x
None of these = 0.87x
