Solve the following system of equations:

x − 2y = 14
x + 3y = 9

(12, - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2y = 14 (1)

x + 3y = 9 (2)

(2) - (1)

(x - x) + (3y - ( - 2y)) = 9 - 14

5y = - 5 ⇒ y = - 1

x + 3( - 1) = 9 ⇒ x = 12

(12, - 1)

19

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
