Question

I nerd help on a homework question please help please x+0.15x=$2

 

 

Answer 1

x + 0.15 x = $2

can be thought of as

1(x) + (0.15)x = $2

 

so you can change the left side into

1(x) + (0.15)x

=

(1 + 0.15)x

=

(1.15) x

 

giving

(1.15) x = $2

 

now just solve this for x

Answer 2

x + 0.15 = 2

 

Subtract 0.15 on both sides of equation

 

x = 2 - 0.15

 

x = 1.85
