Use the arithmetic operations to get the variable x on one side of the equation and everything else on the opposite side.
If something is being is being done to a variable, we undo that operation by using the inverse of that operation.
For example, if 10 is being added to x, we use the inverse of addition or subtraction.
18 - 7x = -20.5
We variable x is being multiplied by 7 and is subtracting 18. We need to undo all those operations.
18 - 7x = -20.5
-7x = -38.5
Now the variable is only being multiplied by -7. Reverse the operation.
-7x = -38.5
x = 5.5
So, x is equal to 5.5.
Morgan should first take the 40% off then apply the $15 coupon
Lets say her total was $150.
If you take the 40% off first, you get $90
150 * .6 = 90 (since you are taking off 40% you are still paying the rest of the 60% so you can just save extra steps by multiplying by .6 and not .4)
Now you subtract 15 from that value.
90 - 15 = 75 If Morgan takes the 40% off first and then applies the $15 dollar coupon, she has to pay $75.
If she applies the $15 coupon first, her total before the 40% is $135
150 - 15 = 135
The total will come out to be $81
$135 * .6 = 81
If Morgan takes the discount first before applying the coupon she has to pay less and saves the most money.
