Okay so $14,000 is the equivalent of 6/5ths
so divide $14,000 by 6= $2333.3r
you need 5/5
so $2333.3r x 5 = $11666.67
this is the original price
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. distribute 9 in 9(x+1)
9x + 9 = 25 + x
2. subtract x from the right side to isolate x onto one side
8x + 9 = 25
3. subtract 9 from the left side
8x = 16
4. divide both sides by 8 to get x alone
x = 2
Collect like terms
6.5x-4.5x = 6+10
2x = 6+10
Divide both sides
2x = 16
X= 8
