Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
I will use the elimination method.</h3>
We want to make the X's the same:
Because the signs of the X's are the same we subtract the 2 equations to make:
(I put the second one on top of the 1st)
So:
Substitute y into either equation 1 or 2:
(I chose equation 1)
So:
Answer: The tip left for the servers was $14.80
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:
- <em>Total cost of the food (before tax) = $82.25
</em>
- <em>Tip = 18% of the amount before the tax
</em>
So, to calculate the tip we have to multiply the cost of the food before tax ($82.25) by the 0.18 (percentage in decimal form, 18/100= 0.18).
Mathematically speaking:
82.25 x 0.18 = $14.80
The tip left for the servers was $14.80
That isn’t a question it is a statement

Given at you have an equilateral triangle, all sides have the same length.
Therefore,
First side 2x-7 = Second side x+y-9 = Third side y+5
Let us look at the second and third sides for now:
x+y-9 = y+5
x = y+5 - (y-9)
x = y-y+5+9
x = 14
Then we look at equating the first and third sides:
2x-7 = y+5
y = 2x-7-5
Substitute x =14 in the equation above:
y = 2(14)-7-5
= 28-7-5
= 21-5
= 16
The length of the third side is:
y+5 = 16 +5 = 21
Given that the length of each sides are the same in an equilateral triangle, all sides have the length 21cm.
