Given 3x - 2(x + 3)= 10, which is the value of x ?
​

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2(x + 3)= 10

Distribute

3x -2x -6 = 10

Combine like terms

x-6 =10

Add 6 to each side

x-6+6 = 10+6

x = 16

3x

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

3x- 2x -6 = 10

x = 16

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
