0789 is the smallest
9870 is the largest
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I've enclosed a graph to show you that there is one solution.
-4x + 3y = - 12
<u>- 2x + 3y = - 18</u><em><u> </u></em><em> </em>Subtract
-2x = 6 Divide by - 2
-2x/-2 = 6/-2
x = - 3
- 4x + 3y = - 12
-4(-3) + 3y = - 12
12 + 3y = - 12
3y = - 12 - 12
3y = - 24
3y/3 = - 24/3
y = - 8
Which is exactly what the graph shows.
You can tell immediately that this has 1 or more solutions just by looking at the number in front of x and y in each each equation.
It's always a good idea to graph a question like this one. Desmos is a pretty good tool to use if you don't have a graphing calculator.
The y's are the same so you are 1/2 way home in saying what you did.
The x's are different so that means you have at least 1 solution.
Given the equation: (km / 3) - 2x = 4, it is essential to isolate x to obtain the expression to solve it. This is done below:
(km / 3<span>) - 2x = 4
</span>
Adding 2x to both sides:
(km / 3<span>) - 2x + 2x = 4 + 2x
</span>(km / 3<span>) = 4 + 2x
</span>
Subtracting 4 from both sides:
(km / 3<span>) - 4 = 4 + 2x - 4
</span>(km / 3<span>) - 4 = 2x
</span>
Dividing 2 from both sides:
[(km / 3<span>) - 4] /2 = 2x /2
</span>[(km / 3<span>) - 4] /2 = x
</span>x = (km / 6) - 2
Let x be the value of the his purchases without the discount. The $64 is the value of the 32% discount.
64 = 0.32x ; x = 200
Thus, he should have paid $200 if there was no discount. The amount he paid (p) is only 68% of this value. p = (0.68)(200) = 136. Hence, he paid only $136.
