Solve for x.

a. x/2 - x + 2/17 = 3

x=-98/17

Step-by-step explanation:

1) simplify

(1/2x + -x) + (2/17) = 3 -- combined like terms

2) subtract 2/17 from both sides

-1/2x = 49/17

3) multiply both sides by 2/-1

x = -98/17

i have no clue at all sorry

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
