So he has to sell it at 19.5+2=21.5 dollars

so assume19.5=100%
the markup is 2 dollars
2=x%
find x if 19.5=100%

so since they are proportionite
19.5:100 and 2:x
if we make them fractions and flip one of them then multiply we will get 1 since
2/4=1/2
2/4 times 2/1=4/4=1 so

19.5/100 times x/2=19.5x/200=1
19.5x/200=1
multiply both sides by 200
19.5x=200
divide both sdies by 19.5
x=10.256 aprox
x=10.3% markup

3y - 5z = -23
leonid [27]
Starting off, we can multiply the third equation by 2 and add it to the third to get rid of both the x and y variables. Next, we get z=1. Plugging that into 3y-5z=-23, we get 3y-5=-23. Adding 5 to both sides, we get 3y=-18. After that, we can divide both sides by 3 to get y=-6. Plugging that into -2x-y-z=-3, we get -2x+6-1=-3=-2x+5. Subtracting 5x from both sides, we get -2x=-8. After that, we can divide both sides by -2 to get x=4.

-2x + y = 0 <br><br> -7x + 3y = 2<br> ​
dsp73
This is a system of equations.
First, you set everything in terms of y.
Take the first equation and move set everything equal to y
y=0+2x
Since it’s 0, you don’t need to put it, so
y=2x works.
Then, you plug y=2x into the bottom equation, for the y.
-7x +3(2x)=2. You do this because now you have the same variable for both and it can be solved easily.
Then you can simplify.
-7x+3x = 2
Then combine like terms.
-4x = 2
Divide by -4 on each side.
x = -1/2
So, now that you have x, you can plug in your x-value back into the top equation.
-2(-1/2) + y = 0
Combine like terms
1+y=0
Get y by itself
y=-1
There you have it!
You can check by plugging in both values to any of the equations. We will use the top one here.
-2(-1/2) + (-1) =0
+1 + -1 = 0
It works!
So,
X= -1/2
Y= -1
