The answer is -1 7/8 in lowest terms.
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
6*6=36
=6
Let the regular price be X
x\98.60 x 100=29%
100x\98.60=29(multiply both sides by 98.60 to remove the denominator
100x=2859.4(divide both sides by 100
x=28.594
regular price=$28.594
Answer:
(10, 14)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this system let's use substitution:
Solve the first equation for x, obtaining x = 24 - y, and then substitute 24 - y for x in the second equation:
3(24 - y) + 5y = 100
Performing the indicated multiplication, we get:
72 - 3y + 5y = 100
Combining like terms results in 72 - 100 = -2y, or -28 = -2y
Thus, y must be 14.
If y = 14, then the first equation tells us that x = 10.
Check: Is this true? 3(10) + 5(14) = 100 YES
The solution is (10, 14).
