6x-3y=12
4x-3y=24
Elimination Please Help

x = -6

y = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

if you subtract the two equations from each other then the 'y' terms will be eliminated:

 2x = -12

 x = -6

solve for 'y':

4(-6) - 3y = 24

-24 - 3y = 24

-3y = 48

y = -16

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
