9 - (a - 7)
Note that - = -1
First, distribute - 1 to all terms within the parenthesis
-1(a - 7) = -a + 7
9 - a + 7
Combine like terms
9 + 7 = 16
-a + 16, or A. 16 - a is your answer
hope this helps
Let x represent the cost of book B
Book A: $17.50
Book B: x
Sales tax: (A + B) x 6% = .06(17.50 + x) = 1.05 + .06x
book A + book B + sales tax = total cost
(17.50) + (x) + (1.05 + .06x) = 44.52 <em>plugged in all of the values</em>
18.55 + 1.06x = 44.52 <em>added like terms</em>
1.06x = 25.97 <em>subtracted 18.55 from both sides</em>
x = 24.50 divided 1.06 from both sides
Answer: $24.50
Answer:
10 and 12
Step-by-step explanation:
let the consecutive even integers be n and n + 2 , then
n² - 64 = 3(n + 2) ← distribute parenthesis
n² - 64 = 3n + 6 ( subtract 3n + 6 from both sides )
n² - 3n - 70 = 0 ← in standard form
(n - 10)(n + 7) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n - 10 = 0 ⇒ n = 10
n + 7 = 0 ⇒ n = - 7
Since n must be a positive even integer then n = 10 and n + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
The 2 numbers are 10 and 12

Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
pi is 3.14...
pi - 1 is 2.14...
question becomes 1<2.14x and 2.14x < 10
1/2.14 < x, 0.46... < x
x < 10/2.14, x < 4.67...
combining
0.46< x < 4.67
x can be 1, 2, 3, 4
