Answer: x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
5 ( 2x - 8 ) + 15 = -15 (write the equation)
5 ( 2x - 8 ) = -30 (subtract by 15 on both sides)
2x - 8 = -6 (divide by 5 on both sides)
2x = 2 (add 8 to both sides)
x = 1 (divide by 2 on both sides)
£1400
A reduction of 40% means that £840 is 60% of the original price
Divide £840 by 60 to find 1% then multiply by 100 to find original price
original price = £840 ×
= £1400
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 14y = 4 ...1
-6x - 7y = -10 ...2
...2 × 2 in 2 sides of the equation
-12x -14y = -20 ...3
...1 + ...3
8x + 14y +(-12x -14y) = 4 +(-20)
8x + 14y - 12x -14y = 4 - 20
-4x = -16
x = (-16)/(-4)
= 4
replace x in ...1 or ...2 you will reserve y value
and answer in the term of (x,y)
Answer:
x = 48 and y = 104
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations are:

From equation 1:

Putting the value of y in equation 2

Now we have to put the value of y in one of the equation to find the value of x
Putting y = 104 in the first equation

Hence,
The solution of the system of equations is x = 48 and y = 104
