Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's try getting rid of the numbers to isolate the x.
Add x on both sides to get rid of the x on the right side and to get 2x on the left side. This leaves us with 15.3 + 2x = 1.3
Subtract 15.3 on both sides to get rid of the 15.3 on the left side.
This would leave us with 2x = -14
Divide 2 on both sides to isolate the x.
The answer is x = -7
T has 4 times what R has, so 2.105*4 which is 8.42
So we start with the $60 untouched.
Then we add the tax which is $60•0.07= 4.20 that is the tax
Then add the tax to the total $60 + $4.20= $64.20
Next we must add the tip so $60•0.15= 9.
Then $64.20 + $9.00 = $73.20
Total cost of meal $73.20
Any questions? :)
