Jasmine bought a game system that cost $299 before tax. The total
including sales tax was 1.07 times
the price. A discount was then
applied by multiplying the total price
by 0.90. What was the total cost of
the game system including the sales
tax and discount?

9514 1404 393

  $287.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The final cost is found by multiplying the cost by the various factors:

  $299 × 1.07 × 0.90 ≈ $287.94

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1
