9-b when b=8
9 -8 =1
9-b when b=-8
9 - (-8)
9+8
17
I'm not sure whether you meant b=8 or b=-8
So you are going to pay $20 and then a 15% tip on top of the 20.
And the 15% tip is 15% of $20.
To do less work, you can basically do 115% of 20 to find out the total cost instead of doing 15% of 20 and then adding that to 20.
Saying that x is the final price to pay, and converting the percents to fractions we get:

Simplify that:

And simplifying that further, you get the final answer as:

So you have to pay $23 after the tip :)
Answer:
y = 0, -4
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Factor out the common term 3y.

2) Solve for y.
<em><u>y</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>0</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>-4</u></em>
<em><u>Therefor</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>the</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>answer</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>is</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>y</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>0</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>-4</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
Answer:
5-3x
Step-by-step explanation:
To expand this, we start with the distribution of -3 into the parentheses containing x+2
This leaves us with
11-3x-6
From here, simplifying involves combining like terms. The only like terms we have are the constant values 11 and -6
We combine them by subtracting 11-6 to get 5.
This leaves us with our answer,
11-6-3x
<u>5-3x</u>
An alternate way of writing this would be
<u>-3x+5</u>
But this would only be required if we were asked to express the answer in decreasing degree, so don't worry about that for now
Answer:
x<-5
Step-by-step explanation:
-0.4x>0.8+1.2
-0.4x>2
x<-5
