With 8% tax of $192, $2,592.
First set up the equation to find answer: y=7-x. Then add it to the variable. 3x-1(7-x)=1. So that makes it 3x+-7+-1=1. Add like terms -7+-1=-8, so 3x+-8=1. Now to find x just switch the 8 to the other side. So you end up with 3x=9 since when you take away a number from one side you need to use the opposite value so adding 8 to -8 will cancel it out, then add it to the other, then just divide. 9/3=3, from here just substitute to find y. y=7+3. y=10.
The answer is x=2 and y=5. I hope I helped!

Let:
x = Pounds of walnuts in the mix.
Each pound of walnuts costs $0.80. thus x pounds of walnuts cost 0.8x dollars.
Each pound of cashews costs $1.25 and the mix will contain 8 pounds of cashews, so the cost is 8*$1.25 = $10
The total cost of the mix is, therefore: 0.8x + 10 dollars.
We are also given the pound of mix costs $1.00 and we have a total of 8 + x pounds, so the total cost of the mix is 1*(8 + x) dollars.
Equating both costs:
0.8x + 10 = 1*(8 + x)
Operating:
0.8x + 10 = 8 + x
Subtracting x and 10:
0.8x - x = 8 - 10
Simplifying:
-0.2x = -2
Dividing by -0.2:
x = -2/(-0.2)
x = 10
Answer: 10 pounds
1 kilometer = 1000 meters so 12 kilometers = 12000 meters
10 laps (400 meters/lap) = 4000 meters
12000/4000 = 3
Answer: 3 days
