Answer:
$82.16
Step-by-step explanation:
78.25 * .20 = 15.65 as a tip,
78.25 *.15 = 11.74 as the discount, subtract from initial value:
78.25 - 11.74 = 66.51
then add the tip: 15.65 + 66.51 = $82.16
You could use Pythagoras Theorem to solve this.
All the points are equidistant from the centre of line AB, therefore it is just the same triangle but rotated. I hope this help but I can show you on paper if you don’t understand that answer :)
Add 1/(x-8) to both sides
cross multiply or multply both sides by (5-x)(x-8)
5(x-8)=5-x
distribute
5x-40=4-x
minus x from both sides
4x-40=4
add 40 to both sides
4x=44
divide by 4
x=11
