Answer:
x=-9
Step-by-step explanation:
x+5=2(7+x)
x+5=14+2x
x-2x=14-5
-1x=9
x=-9
This is because minus times minus is equals plus so the sign must change

Answer: B. (-1, 0)</h3>
This point is below both the red diagonal line and the blue parabola. We know that the set of solution points is below both due to the "less than" parts of each inequality sign.
In contrast, a point like (2,2) is above the parabola which is why it is not a solution. It does not make the inequality 
true. So this is why we can rule choice A out.
Choice C is not a solution because (4,1) does not make 
true. This point is not below the red diagonal line. We can cross choice C off the list.
Choice D is similar to choice A, which is why we can rule it out as well.
Answer:
$30.72
Step-by-step explanation:
You were right with your answer, the teacher is probably just wanting you to tip on the subtotal (before tax) instead of the total total. Instead of doing total+tax+tip, we're going to figure out the tax and tip separately and then add it all together.
<u>Tipping on the subtotal (what your teacher wanted)</u>
20% of $24 = $4.80
8% of $24 = $1.92
$24+$4.80+$1.92=$30.72
<u>Tipping on the total (what you did)</u>
8% of $24 is $1.92
New total is $25.92
20% of $25.92 is $5.18
$25.92 + $5.18 = $31.10
