Step-by-step explanation:

She decides to leave a tip of 20% of the cost of the meal plus the tax. Write an expression for her total bill if the cost of her meal is m dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

it is a secret for it not to be compromised sorry
