Let us assume the total amount of meal charge paid by Michael without tax = x
Then
Amount paid to the waiter by Michael = 15x/100
Sales tax paid by Michael = 5x/100
Now we get the equation as
x + (5x/100) + (15x/100) = 18
(100x + 5x + 15x)/100 = 18
120x/100 = 18
120x = 1800
x = 1800/120
= 180/12
= 15 dollars
So the amount paid by Michael for the meal before tax and tip is $15. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

What value of x is in the solution set of 3(x – 4) > 5x + 2?

bonufazy [111]

We have to simplify and get the value of x from this inequality given:

Given inequality,

$3(x - 4) > 5x + 2$

Now let's simplify by using distributive property,

$3x - 12 > 5x + 2$

We need to find x, so let's isolate x to the letter side of the inequality for calculation at ease.

$3x - 12 - 5x - 2 > 0$

$- 2x - 14 > 0$

Now, dividing -2 from both sides.

Note : As we are dividing a negative number from both sides, the sign of the inequality will be <u>reversed</u>.

$\dfrac{ - 2x - 14}{ - 2} > \dfrac{0}{ - 2}$

$x + 7 < 0$

Now subtracting -7 from both sides,

$x + 7 - 7 < 0 - 7$

$x < - 7$

Or, Interval of the equal $(- \infin, -7 ]$
