Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's try getting rid of the numbers to isolate the x.
Add x on both sides to get rid of the x on the right side and to get 2x on the left side. This leaves us with 15.3 + 2x = 1.3
Subtract 15.3 on both sides to get rid of the 15.3 on the left side.
This would leave us with 2x = -14
Divide 2 on both sides to isolate the x.
The answer is x = -7
Work:
2x+5(6x+23)=-13
2x+30x+115=-13
32x=-128
x=-4
y=6(-4)+23
y=-24+23
y=-1
The answer is (-4,-1)
Hopefully this helps!
To find the final cost you multiply 35.80 x .07 and you get 2.506 but since its money you round it to $2.51. $2.51 is your sales tax and now you need to add it to the cost of the shirt so 35.80+2.51= $38.31
