The product of two numbers is 5 greater than their sum. One number is x, and the other number is 3. Which of the following equations could be used to me
X?

A. 3x = (x + 3) - 5
B. 3x = x+3 / 5
C. 3x = (1 – 3) – 5
D. 3x = (x + 3) + 5
E. 3x = (x – 3) + 5

The correct answer is option D: 3x = (x + 3) + 5

Step-by-step explanation: The numbers are x and 3. The product of both numbers is expressed as x times 3, or 3x. The sum of both numbers is x + 3. If their product is five greater than their sum, then

Product = Sum + 5

That can be properly expressed as

3x = (x + 3) + 5

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
