Solve the equation. −7(x + 7) + 53 = 13 − 8x
x =

i need to know
if u can help me ill give u my num

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

−7(x+7)+53=13−8x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−7(x+7)+53=13−8x

(−7)(x)+(−7)(7)+53=13+−8x(Distribute)

−7x+−49+53=13+−8x

(−7x)+(−49+53)=−8x+13(Combine Like Terms)

−7x+4=−8x+13

−7x+4=−8x+13

Step 2: Add 8x to both sides.

−7x+4+8x=−8x+13+8x

x+4=13

Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides.

x+4−4=13−4

x=9

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98

$30.32

step-by-step explanation:

65.00*.12=2.80

65.00-2.80=57.20

57.20*1.06=60.632

60.632/2=30.316
