The first step would be to isolate the square root on the left side. √x-6+2 = 6 √x-6 = -2+6 √x-6 = 4We would have to take away the radical on the left and square the equation. (√x-6)2 = (4)2 x-6 = 16Finally, x -22 = 0 x = 22
The waitress gets 45/75 = 3/5 of the tips
so waitress gets 3/5 * 350 = $210
Interesting problem.
First - let's figure cost of each uniform at purchase.
3,000/40 = $75 each
When some uniforms were returned at $40 - there was a difference of $35 in what they paid and what they rec'd in return. ($75 - 35 = $40)
