Sales Tax rate: 6.75%
Total price of item including tax: $14.93Original price of item: ?
Let x be the original price
x+0.0675x = 14.93  -- we change the percent to decimal

1.0675x = 14.93  -- simplify 
1.0675x/ 1.0675 = 14.93/1.0675  --isolate x
x = 14.93/1.0675  --divide
x = 13.98595  
Then rounded to two decimal points, the answer would be $13.99.

Can someone plz help me i will thank u so much
klemol [59]

Answer:

2 hours and 29 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

if you change 9 hours to minutes you get 540 plus 17 equals 557. if you turn 6 hours to minutes it's 360 plus 48 equals 408. 557 minus 408 equals 149 minutes. Now if you convert it to hours and minutes you need to divide by 60. So if you divide it you get 2 hours and 29 minutes. hope this helped! :)

What kind of solution is -6(x-2)=-7(x-3)
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

-6(x-2)=-7(x-3) = False x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-6 (x - 2) = -7 (x - 3)

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

12 - 6 x = -7 (x - 3)

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

12 - 6 x = 21 - 7 x

Add 7 x to both sides:

7 x - 6 x + 12 = (7 x - 7 x) + 21

7 x - 7 x = 0:

7 x - 6 x + 12 = 21

7 x - 6 x = x:

x + 12 = 21

Subtract 12 from both sides:

x + (12 - 12) = 21 - 12

12 - 12 = 0:

x = 21 - 12

21 - 12 = 9:

Answer:  x = 9
