8 - 2(3х – 1) = x+ 9?

x=1/7 or 0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

first you distribute: 8-6x+2=x+9

next combine like terms (8 and 2): -6x+10=x+9

then subtract 1x from both sides: -7x+10=9

then subtract 10 from both sides: -7x=-1

divide both sides by -7: x=1/7 or 0.14

true

step-by-step explanation:

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
