What is the solution: 3x + 9 = 2x + 5

3X+9= 2x+5
-2x. -2x
1x+9 = 5
-9. -9
X=-4

For this case we will first look for the total cost of the purse.
 We then have the following rule of three:
 14.95 $ > 100%
 x > 105%
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (105/100) * (14.95)
 x = 15.6975 $
 The amount needed to buy the purse is:
 15.6975 - 10 = 5.6975 $
 
 holley needs 5.6975 $ to buy the purse
