Answer:
19
Step-by-step explanation:
15z-14z=12+7
z=19
$80 hourly used limousine
80 * .20 = $16 tip
$80 + $16 = $96 <span>he spent hourly charges plus tip
$96 * 4 = $384 total for 4 hours plus tip</span>
4x - 2y = 14
y = 0.5x -1
Get just one variable on one side for both equations.
4x - 2y = 14 ⇒ 4x = 2y + 14 ⇒ 4x - 14 = 2y
y = 0.5x - 1 ⇒ x - 2 = 2y
Use the transitive property and then solve for x.
x-2 = 4x-14
12 = 3x
x = 4
