Suppose that the local tax rate is 5% and you purchase a car for $21,750. How much tax is paid? What is the car’s total cost?

Tax- 1087.5   Total-22837.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the tax, you have to multiply the amount by .05

To find the total, add the tax and the beginning amount together

x= -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4.5(8−x)+36=102−2.5(3x+24)

(4.5)(8)+(4.5)(−x)+36=102+(−2.5)(3x)+(−2.5)(24)(Distribute)

36+−4.5x+36=102+−7.5x+−60

(−4.5x)+(36+36)=(−7.5x)+(102+−60)(Combine Like Terms)

−4.5x+72=−7.5x+42

−4.5x+72=−7.5x+42

Step 2: Add 7.5x to both sides.

−4.5x+72+7.5x=−7.5x+42+7.5x

3x+72=42

Step 3: Subtract 72 from both sides.

3x+72−72=42−72

3x=−30
