12x> 9 (2x-3)-15 solve for x and show steps .

12x > 9(2x-3)-15

distribute the 9

12x > 18x-27 -15

combine like terms on the right side

12x > 18x-42

subtract 18x from both sides

-6x > -42

divide both sides by -6

x = -42 / -6 = 7

x >7

you already gave the answer

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
