The total cost would be the tax plus the cost of the meal. In order to find the tax you can set up a proportion: 8/100=x/34.5. Then you can cross multiply: (100•x)=(8•34.5). Then we have 100x=276. Divide both sides by 100 and we have x=2.76. This added to the 34.50 is equal to 37.26. Hope this helps!

Answer:

8. m=6

9.  x=2; Alyssa is incorrect because she subtracted 8 from 16 when in reality she should have divided 16 by 8 to get 2. The real solution is 2 because 8 times 2 is equal to 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 8:

2m-6=m

-2m    -2m     (subtract 2m from both sides)

<u>-6</u>=<u>-m</u>  

-       -     (divide both sides by the negative)

m=6

Question 9:

<u>8x</u>=<u>16  </u>              (divide both sides of the equation by 8)

8     8

x=2

Solve for p<br> 3+|1+p|=12
Usimov [2.4K]
Subtract 3 from both sides

simplify 12 - 3 to 9

break down the problem into these two equations

1 + p = 9 and -(1 + p) = 9

solve the first equation 1 + p = 9 and that would be 8 since 1 + 8 = 9 is true.

solve the second equation -(1 + p) = 9 and just simplify brackets and add 1 to both sides then add 9 + 1 and lastly multiply both sides by -1 and p = -10.

Gather both solutions

Answers: p = -10, 8
