Answer:
solve or simplify? if solve, what is x
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is -5x + 4y = -20
-4(x-6) ≤ - 2x+6
-4x-24≤ -2x+6
+2x +2x
-2x-24≤+6
+24 +24
-2x ≤ 30
Divide both sides by -2
and you get....
x ≥ -15
You switch the inequality sign because you're dividing by a negative.
I hope all is well, and you pass! Good luck, rockstar! (:
Answer:
6 nickles
2 dimes 2 nickles
1 quarter 1 nickle 5 pennys
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.
