Answer:

X = 5

Remember, x has a hidden one behind it, so it would be 1x

3x - 2(x + 1) = 2x - 7

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by x+1.

3x−2x−2=2x−7

Combine 3x and −2x to get x

x−2=2x−7

Subtract 2x from both sides

x−2−2x=−7

Combine x and −2x to get −x

−x−2=−7

Add 2 to both sides

−x=−7+2

Add −7 and 2 to get −5

−x=−5

multiply both sides by -1

x=5

4. Tabatha is dining out at Mandee's and decides to get an order of curly fries.
julsineya [31]

Answer:

$22.33

Step-by-step explanation:

A 20% tip would be 0.20. Multiply the cost by 0.20 to get the tip amount or multiply the cost by 1.20 to get the total amount including tip.

subtotal --> $18.61

tip --> $3.72

18.61 x 0.20 = 3.72

total --> $22.33
