X=skirt
y=sweater
z=shoes
x+y+z=165
y=8/7x
z=x+11
plug it in
x+(8/7x)+(x+11)=165
2x+8/7x=154
22/7x=154
x=49
y=56
z=60
a skirt cost $49, a sweater cost $56, and a pair of shoes cost $60
Step-by-step explanation:
The composite function (f o g)(x)
= f(x² - 5)
= 4(x² - 5) + 1
= 4x² - 19.
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.
N=11 because 4+10= 14 and 25-14 = 11
