I believe the correct answer is 2.
Dave pays $15 and tax is $1.2 so dave spent a total of $16.20.
Mel pays $20 and tax is $1.6 so Mel spent a total of $21.60.
All you need to do is convert the percent to a decimal, so take 8 and divide by 100 and you get 0.08. then you need to multiply the cost by the tax so 15*0.08=1.2 then you just add tax to original amount 15+1.2=16.2

Answer:
-2x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
you didn't post choices but combining like terms you get
-2x + 2
3x + 1 = y
2x + 3y = 14
To solve this system of equations, we are going to use the substitution method. Substitution the equation where the variable is isolated into the second equation. In this system of equations, y is isolated, so we will replace y in the second equation with 3x + 1.
2x + 3y = 14
2x + 3(3x + 1) = 14
2x + 9x + 3 = 14
We will add the like terms and subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
11x + 3 = 14
11x = 11
x = 1
In this system of equations, x is equal to 1. Now we will go back and solve for y, plugging in 1 for x.
3(1) + 1 = y
2(1) + 3y = 14
3 + 1 = y
2 + 3y = 14
4 = y
3y = 2
4 = y
4 = y
The solution to this system of equations is (1, 4).
