Answer:

  • Lisa: 22
  • Chau: 14
  • Austin: 88

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relations can be used to describe each of the numbers in terms of how many Lisa served. Those can then be related by the total served.

__

<h3>setup</h3>

Let L represent the number of orders Lisa served. Chau served 8 fewer, so (L -8). Austin served 4 times as many, so (4L). The total served was ...

  L +(L -8) +4L = 124

<h3>solution</h3>

  6L = 132 . . . . . . . . add 8, combine terms

  L = 22 . . . . . . . . divide by 6

  L -8 = 22 -8 = 14 . . . the number Chau served

  4L = 4(22) = 88 . . . the number Austin served

The numbers each served were ...

  • Lisa: 22
  • Chau: 14
  • Austin: 88

Is there a solution to 0.21 (3x + 3) + 4 <br> =26
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

x = 33.92.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.21 (3x + 3) + 4 = 26

Distribute the 0.21 over the parentheses:

0.63x + 0.63 = 22

0.63x = 22 - 0.63

0.63x = 21.37

x = 21.37 / 0.63

x = 33.92 (answer).

Given f(x) =3x-1/2 solve for f^-1(4)
bazaltina [42]

f(x) = 3x - 1/2

f^{-1}(x) is the inverse of f(x). Let y = f(x)

y = 3x - 1/2

To find the inverse function, replace y with x and x with y

x = 3y - 1/2

After solving and simplifying the equation for y, you will get the following equation

y = x/3 + 1/6

This is the inverse of f(x). Now, substitute x = 4

y = 4/3 + 1/6

= 8/6 + 1/6

= 9/6

= 3/2

That should be your answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Rosita paid$27.08, including tax , for her family to eat dinner at a restaurant. She wants to tip a whole dollar amount that is
Bumek [7]

A <u>reasonable tip </u>would be $5.00

Rosita paid $27.08 an wants to tip a whole dollar <u>closest to 20%. </u>

The first step is therefore to find out 20% of $27.08.

= 20% x 27.08

= $5.42

The closest whole dollar depends on the first decimal point.

If it is 5 and above, the tip would be $5 as we would round down.

If it is 4 and below, the tip would be $6 as we would round up.

The<u> first decimal </u>is 4 so we would round down to $5.00

The tip would therefore be $5.00
