aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

$0.276

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Bill= $9.20

Tax= 3%

Tip= 19%

Let us find the amount of the tax and the tip

Tax

=3/100*9.20

=0.03*9.2

=$0.276

Amount after sales tax

= 0.276+9.20

=$9.476

Tip

=19/100*9.476

=0.19*9.476

=$1.80044

Therefore the sales tax

=$0.276

pshichka [43]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a square = 4*(side of the square)

28 = 4*(3x+1)

28 = 12x + 4

28- 4 = 12x

24 = 12x

x =2

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below?

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The correct options for the solution values are:

$x=2\sqrt{2}-5$

$x=-2\sqrt{2}-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$x^2+10x+25=8$

Subtract 25 from both sides

$x^2+10x+25-25=8-25$

Simplify

$x^2+10x=-17$

Add 25 or 5² to both sides

$x^2+10x+5^2=8$

$x^2+10x+5^2=\left(x+5\right)^2$

so the expression becomes

$\left(x+5\right)^2=8$

$\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}$

solve

$x+5=\sqrt{8}$

Subtract 5 from both sides

$x+5-5=2\sqrt{2}-5$

$x=2\sqrt{2}-5$

solve

$x+5=-\sqrt{8}$

Subtract 5 from both sides

$x+5-5=-2\sqrt{2}-5$

$x=-2\sqrt{2}-5$

Therefore, the solution to the equation

$x=2\sqrt{2}-5,\:x=-2\sqrt{2}-5$

Hence, the correct options for the solution values are:

$x=2\sqrt{2}-5$

$x=-2\sqrt{2}-5$
