.
Area of a triangle=1/2(base x height)
Area=72, Base=8, Height=2x-3
Plug it in.
72=1/2(8 x (2x-3))
72=1/2(16x-24)
72=8x-12
84=8x
x=10.5
Answer:

Answer:
$60 was the price of Zoe's dinner, before sales tax and tip.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Sales tax = 11% * original price = 0.11 * x= 0.11x
- Tips for dinner = 20% * original price = 0.20 * x = 0.2x
- 0.11x + 0.2x = 18.60
- 0.31x = 18.60
- x = 60
- $60 was the price of Zoe's dinner, before sales tax and tip.
