7 0

A counter example is

f(x)=5x^5+2x^3+3x
g(x)=-5x^5-x^4+x^2-4

Then f(x)+g(x) = -x^4+2x^3+x^2+3x-4 which is a polynomial of degree 4.

So the answer is no. Counter-example is given above.

So here you are trying to find out what times .30 (30%) subtracted the original price will give you 18.75. Because it is 30% discount you want to use 70% (.7) so that you can find the price before not the price after.

so .7(x) = 18.75

Which you then divide and then get 26.79 dollars.
