Answer:
19/8
Step-by-step explanation:
make the 2 wholes back into 8ths and add them to the 3
The quantity will decline by 15%.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Elasticity of Demand = % Change in quantity / % Change in price
ð 1.50 = % change in quantity / 10
ð Percentage change in quantity = 15%
Percentage change in quantity shows an inverse relation with respect to the percentage change in price. In this case of ice-cream, a 10% jump in the price will result the quantity to fall by 15%.
<u>Answer:</u> x = 1/5 and y= -7/5
Step-by-step explanation: Let's solve your system by elimination.
Multiply the first equation by -3,and multiply the second equation by 1.
-3 (x - 2y = 3)
1 (3x - y = 2)
Becomes:
-3x + 6y = -9
3x -y = 2
Add these equations to eliminate x:
5y = -7
Then solve 5y = -7
5y/7 = -7/5
y = -7/5
Now that we‘ve found y, let’s plug it back in and solve for x.
Write down an original equation:
x - 2y = 3
<h3>
Substitute -7/5 for y in x - 2y = 3:</h3><h3>
x - 2 (-7/5) = 3</h3><h3>
x + 14/5 = 3</h3><h3>
x 14/5 + -14/5 = 3 + -14/5 (Add (-14)/5 to both sides)</h3><h3>
x = 1/5</h3><h3><u>
Answer: </u></h3><h3>x = 1/5 and y = -7/5</h3><h3 /><h3 /><h3 />
First, distribute the (1/2) into (4x+12) by multiplying them.
The equation becomes:
2x + 6 + 5x = 30
On the left side, combine “like terms” through addition.
7x + 6 = 30
Subtract 6 from both sides:
7x = 24
Finally, get x alone by dividing both sides by 7:
x = 24/7, or if you wanted to round the decimal answer, it’s about 3.429.
