Given:Price of one taco = x; price of 2 tacos = 2xPrice of salad = $2.50Sales tax = 8% of the combined price of two tacos and a salad, namely .08(2x + 2.50)Tip = constant fee = $3.00Total bill = $13.80 Therefore the equation becomes
2x + 2.50 + .08(2x + 2.50) + 3 = 13.80 Solutions: 2x + 2.50 + .16x + .20 + 3 = 13.80 (using the distributive property to multiply 2x and 2.5 by .08).2.16x + 2.70 + 3 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 - 5.70 (subtraction property of equality)2.16x = 8.10x = 8.10/2.16 = 3.75 (division property of equality)
The cost of a single taco is $3.75

What is the first step when rewriting y=6x^2+18x+14 in the form y=a(x-h)^2+k?
Grace [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Factor 6 from the first two terms.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

By factoring out "a", you can better see what "h" needs to be.

  1. y = 6(x^2 +3x) +14 . . . . 6 factored from first 2 terms
  2. add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses; add the opposite outside: y = 6(x^2 +3x +2.25) +14 -6(2.25)
  3. rewrite as a square; combine the constants: y = 6(x+1.5)^2 +0.5
