What type of mathematical problems can be solved using algebra?
The total price of an object is $ 33.00 and the tax is 7.5%.
What is the price of the object? Using algebra.............
Let x=price of the object. Then .075x+x=33 and x(.075+1)=33
and
x=33/1.075. Then x=$ 30.70 approx.
[ADDED] . The fuller answer would be: ALL types of mathematical
problems can be solved using Algebra, because algebra is the
language of maths. It is not a separate discipline.
It might be more pertinent to ask if any maths can be solved
without algebra. A few abstract concepts such as Euclidean Geometry
might be, but little else..
