Answer:
1a) t = 0.17b
1b) $36.03
2) 51,167.50
Step-by-step explanation:
1a) 17% converted to a decimal (divide by 100) = 0.17. Multiply that by the amount of the bill (before tipping) to get the amount of the tip
1b) The bill of $248 represents the entire bill (100%) plus the tip amount (17%) which makes 117%. As a decimal, this is 1.17.
To find what the cost was without the tip, divide the bill total by 1.17
248/1.17 = 211.97. That was the bill before the tip was added.
248-211.97 = 36.03 was the tip added.
2) 5.5% converted to a decimal is 0.055
0.55 x 48,500 = 2667.50
$2,667.50 + $48,500 = 51,167.50
Or, you can use what we did in 1b, and his new salary is 1.055 times 48,500
1.055 x 48,500 = 51,167.50

Answer:
A) 
Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial factored is equal to the area of the algebra tiles. This means the quadratic is

After writing out each tile as a term, combine like terms to simplify. This ia the quadratic.
-15x - 3y = 3
-15x - 3(5x-1) = 3 [input y]
-15x - 15x - 3 = 3 [distribute 3 over 5x and -1]
-30x - 3 = 3 [combine like terms]
-30x = 6 [add 3 to eliminate the negative]
x =

[divide by -30 to get x alone]
x =

[reduce the fraction]
