Graham · Answer 1

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
