Hello there!

Yes, your solution is correct! A way to check it is replacing the value you found for x into x in the equation.

3(2-x) = 7 - 4x ⇒ 3(2-1) = 7 - 4(1)

And now solve 3(2-1) = 7 - 4(1).

3(1) = 7 - 4(1)

3 = 7 - 4

3 = 3

Since it is a true statement that 3 is equal to 3, it means your solution of x = 1 is correct. Good job! :)

Hello

3 (2-x)=7-4x

6-3x=7-4x

6-7=-4x+3x

-1=-x

x=1

Good Luck

Goodbye ♥

Martha and her three friends had lunch together. Their bill was $46.00 and want to leave an extra 18% tip for their server. How

Bess [88]

Answer:

2.07 or 13.57

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you'd want to calculate the total bill. So you'd do the original bill multiplied by 1.18 (signaling the addition of the tip).

46 · 1.18 = 54.28

If you're calculating only the tip, it would be 46 · 0.18= 8.28

Then, since there is Martha, and 3 of her friends, you'd divide the bill (54.28) by 4 people. However, since the question is a little unclear on whether it is asking how much each person should leave for the tip, or leave overall, there are 2 possible answers.

Overall, each person would leave 54.28/4 = 13.57.

For the tip only, each person would leave 2.07.
