Please help me with these 2 questions, please show work

5x - 4 = 11

1/2x + 15 = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

I dont exactly know how u would show work.

If it says something is less than a number, then it will be at the back of the equation. So skip that part and u will see it says five times a number. The number is unknown therefore it will a variable (i chose x to be the variable). 5 times x is 5x. Minus the 4 would be 5x - 4. Then it says the equation equals 11. So 5x - 4 = 11.

If it says something is more than a number, it can be on either side of the equation using the commutative property of addition. But if we want to consider it being like subtraction, then it also will be in the back of the equation. A half is one over two (1/2). A half of x is 1/2x. Plus the 15 would be 1/2x + 15. It then states that the equation equals 9. So 1/2x + 15 = 9.

the answer is 62.8 cubic units

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
