3/5 = 0.6 =60% i hope it helps.
Answer:
17, 19 & 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
let : the pair of jeans = X
a. the equation is :
4(X-3) + 8 = 92
b. 4(X-3) = 92-8
4X -12 = 84
4X = 84+12
4X = 96
X = 96/4
X = 24
so, the price of each pair of jeans = $24
_________
For the solution x = 2.6, the left side of equation
(2x - 6) => would be 2(2.6)-6 = 5.2-6 = -8 ( the negative value),
but on the right side of the equation 4x+8 => 4(2.6) +8 = 18.4 ( the positive value)
this difference indicates that x=2.6 is not the right solution.
I would go about solving this by elimination because the x variables are already the same so all you would have to do is change one equation to the opposite signs and add them, so it would look like:
7y + 5x = 19
+ -3y - 5x = -7
-------------------
4y=12
y=3
