<span>The first two cuts can intersect at only 1 pt regardless of where they are placed.
So 4 pieces there.
The last cut can only intersect each other cut a 1 pt, regardless of placement. As long as the intersection is different than the first intersection, then you will have 7 pieces.</span>
Another way to put 6/7 - 1/8 is 48/56- 7/56 since the LCM of 7 and 8 is 56 (if you don’t know what that is I can explain it) sorta like subtraction you subtract both numerators (48 and 7 or 48-7) which gives you 41 then you put the denominator (56) below that. So in other words it equals 41/56
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.
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(x-4)+1=7
First Distribute the -2.
-2x+8+1=7
Subtract the 8 and 1 from the whole equation.
-2x=-2
Divide both sides of the equation by -2.
x=1
I hope this helps!
