The final price is the cost plus the tax.

Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as

T = C(1+r)

T = what Graham paid = $87.45

C = cost before tax

r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40

Plugging in what we know

87.45 = C (1+.4)

87.45 = C(1.4)

Divide both sides by 1.4

C = $62.46

7(x+2)=2x-1 solve for the variable
Len [333]

Answer:

x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7(x + 2) = 2x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

7x + 14 = 2x - 1 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

5x + 14 = - 1 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

5x = - 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - 3

Bryce tried to solve an equation step by step.
Aloiza [94]

$c=\frac{1}{3}

Solution:

Given equation is \frac{8}{3}=3c+\frac{5}{3}.

To solve the equation by step by step.

Step 1: Given

$\frac{8}{3}=3c+\frac{5}{3}$

Step 2: Combine like terms together.

Plus symbol changed to minus when the term goes from right to left (or) left to right of the equal sign.

$\frac{8}{3}-\frac{5}{3}=3c$

Step 3: Subtract the fractions in the left side.

$\frac{3}{3}=3c$

⇒ 1=3c$

Step 4: Divide both side of the equation by 3, we get

$\frac{1}{3} =\frac{3c}{3}$

$\frac{1}{3} =c$

Hence, the answer is c=\frac{1}{3}.
