Step-by-step explanation:
let the original price=x
85 % of x=51
First of all, you would use the FOIL method for -5(a + 3). This means to just multiply -5 to all of the values in the parenthesis. This would equal:
-5a -15 = -55
Then after, you would add 15 for both sides and get -5a = -40
Divide by -5 on both sides, you get a = 8.

X = 8.5 because 8.5 x 2 = 17 and 17 + 1 = 18
The answer I believe is -1/9
