Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 9y = 23

5x - 3y = -12x - 9y = 23we]periyhw[euiorghweuirtg7wuio[ryg

5x - 3y = -12x - 9y = 23

5x - 3y = -12x - 9y = 23

5x - 3y = -1

Answer:

x = $240

Step-by-step explanation:

First, change the percentage to a decimal and write the equivalence of the sales tax amount. Let x be the original cost of the item.

Sales tax amount =x⋅0.085

Next, substitute the value into the equation:

Original Cost + Sales Tax Amount = Total Cost

x+0.085x=260.40

Add like terms.

1.085x=260.40

Divide both sides by 1.085 to isolate the unknown value.

x=$240

The original cost of the bike rack was $240.
