0.9(2x-8)=-(x=5)= <<< This does not make sense - Please fix it.

The printer itself costs 219.14.

If the question is how much does it cost without including tax, the answer is:

X + (X)(.05) = 219.14

Solve for X = 208.70

 

[vajmim]

the correct problem is 0.9(2x-8)=4-(x+5)

 

[Denis]

the correct problem is 0.9(2x-8)=4-(x+5)

1.8x - 7.2 = 4 - x - 5

Finish it.
