Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The given expression is
13y-(5x-3y)+x
Applying the distributive property, we would multiply each term inside the bracket by the - 1 which is outside the bracket first. it becomes
13y - 5x + 3y + x
- 5x + x + 13y + 3y
- 4x + 16y
2) The state sales tax rate is 4.75%. If Harold buys a shirt whose sales price is $20, the amount that he would pay for sales tax is
4.75/100 × 20 = 0.0475 × 20 = $0.95
