Respuesta :
To solve this equation, let S be the selling price and W be the wholesale price.
s = 3w - 66
899 = 3w - 66, add 66 to both sides
965 = 3w, divide both sides by 3
w = $321.67
s = 3w - 66
899 = 3w - 66, add 66 to both sides
965 = 3w, divide both sides by 3
w = $321.67
The whole sale price of the television is $321.67
What is the general form of a linear equation?
ax + b = 0 is the general form of a linear equation.
We have to write our problem statement in the form of a linear equation and then we can can solve it.
Given:
S = 3h - 66
here we assumed, S is the selling price of tv, h is the whole sale price and according to the question statement, selling price (S) is $899. We have to solve this linear equation for the whole sale price i.e., h.
Let us rearrange our given equation as the general form of the linear equation, we get
899 = 3h - 66
3h + (- 66 - 899) = 0
or 3h + 965 = 0
Now solve it for h:
h = [tex]\frac{965}{3}[/tex] = 321.67
h = 321.67
Hence the whole sale price of the TV is $321.67
