Simple, rewrite this equation, in y=mx+b form.
Move over the 5x, making it look like, -y=-5x+14
Then, just simply divide by the negative one in front of the y.
y=5x-14.
8.25% of 55.60 = 4.58700
We round that number to 4.59
(I am assuming the tip is based on the amount of the pretax bill.)
15% of 55.60 = 8.34
So $55.60 + $4.59 + 8.34 = $68.53
The bill would be $68.53.
-8+3+-8--3
minusing a negativ means adding a positive
adding a negaative means minusing a positive
-8+3-8+3
-5-8+3
-13+3
-10
The scale factor is 4 and for the perimeter just use the distance formula
Divide 7% into $240 dollars and hat should get you your answer.
hope this helps!
