Your bill at a restaurant is $68 and you want to leave a %20 tip what is the total amount you will leave

$81.6

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 0.2 by 68, in which you will get 13.6, and then you add that to 68.

 x2-16x+48=0 Two solutions were found : x = 12 x = 4Step by step solution :Step  1  :Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 1.1     Factoring  x2-16x+48 

The first term is,  x2  its coefficient is  1 .
The middle term is,  -16x  its coefficient is  -16 .
The last term, "the constant", is  +48 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • 48 = 48 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  48  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -16 .

     -48   +   -1   =   -49     -24   +   -2   =   -26     -16   +   -3   =   -19     -12   +   -4   =   -16   That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -12  and  -4 
                     x2 - 12x - 4x - 48

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    x • (x-12)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    4 • (x-12)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (x-4)  •  (x-12)
             Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step  1  : (x - 4) • (x - 12) = 0 Step  2  :Theory - Roots of a product :

 2.1    A product of several terms equals zero. 

 When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero. 

 We shall now solve each term = 0 separately 

 In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product 

 Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.2      Solve  :    x-4 = 0 

 Add  4  to both sides of the equation : 
                      x = 4 

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.3      Solve  :    x-12 = 0 

 Add  12  to both sides of the equation : 
                      x = 12
