Twice a number increased by 1 is -11. Find the number.

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Twice mean multiply by 2

and twice a number is 2x (If you let x be the "number")

increase means adding by

increase by 1 is adding by 1

Is means =

is -11 is

=-11

now that we have all the things we add it up

Wice a number increased by 1 is -11:

2x+1=-11

Now you move the 1 to the other side by subtracting by 1 on both sides:

2x+1-1=-11-1

Simplify:

2x=-12

divide both sides by 2:

x=-6

Hope this helps!

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
