please help

Answer 2

a
= Your Payment
b
= Your Friend's Payment
x
= Bill
What you're trying to find = 12x12x+5=a
12x+25% of 12x=b
25%=14 Since you and your friend pay the same total,
a=b
If a=b,12x+5=12x+14(12x)
First, you want to simplify.
12x+5=12x+18x Multiply by 8 on both sides to get rid of those fractions
4x+40=4x+x Subtract 4x on both sides to find x
40=x you're looking for HALF the bill, so it'd be
12 of x
Answer = 20
