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.

Each of the linear factors occurs precisely once, so the sign of the given rational expression will change at each of the points where one of the linear factors is zero. That is at:
x
=
−
3
,
−
1
,
2
,
4
Note that when
x
is large, the
x
2
terms will dominate the values of the numerator and denominator, making both positive.
Hence the sign of the value of the rational expression in each of the intervals
(
−
∞
,

and
(

follows the pattern

. Hence the intervals

and
(

are both part of the solution set.
When
x
=
−
1
or
x
=
4
, the denominator is zero so the rational expression is undefined. Since the numerator is non-zero at those values, the function will have vertical asymptotes at those points (and not satisfy the inequality).
When
x
=
−
3
or
x
=
2
, the numerator is zero and the denominator is non-zero. So the function will be zero and satisfy the inequality at those points.
Hence the solution is:
x

Answer:
12x + 15y=34
x=34/12 = 17/6
y=34/15
____________________
-6x + 5y=3
x=3/-6 = 1/-2
y= 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
-9x=-36
divide both sides by -9
to get x by itself
to get +x
-9x/-9= -36/-9
cross out -9 and -9, then becomes -1*-1*x= x
x= -36/-9
