Solve the following: You purchase a set of Bluetooth earbuds for $45 and use a $5 off manufacturer's coupon. If sales tax is 8.25%, how much do you pay for the earbuds? Include the dollar sign in your answer and round to two decimal places.

43.3

Step-by-step explanation:

45-5=40,

0.0825*40=3.3

40+3.3=43.3

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
