200 and 150 because 25% of 200 is 50 so subtract 50 from 200 because it is supposed to be 25% smaller

Solve by the elimination method

Usimov [2.4K]

There is one solution. The solution of the system is (9,-5)

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the system of equations by elimination method

$6x= 64+2y\\2x= -7-5y$

Rearranging the equations:

$6x-2y=64\,\,\,eq(1)\\2x+5y=-7\,\,\,eq(2)$

Eliminating y to find value of x:

Multiply eq(1) by 5 and eq(2) by 2 and add both equations:

$30x-10y=320\,\,\,\\4x+10y=-14\\--------\\34x=306\\x=\frac{306}{34}\\ x=9$

So, value of x= 9

Eliminating x to find value of y:

Multiply eq(1) by 2 and eq(2) by 6 and subtract both equations:

$12x-4y=128\\12x+30y=-42\\-\,\,\,\,-\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,+\\---------\\-34y=170\\y=\frac{170}{-34}\\ y=-5$

So, value of y = -5

There is one solution. The solution of the system is (9,-5)

Option A is correct.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Statement 1 : Gail bought a $45 sweater at 1/3 off.

Discount in Sweater Purchase:

$\frac{1}{3} \; of \; 45 = \frac{1}{3} \times 45 \; = \;\frac{45}{3} =\$15$

Statement 2: Gail can use her 12% employee discount once a week and used her discount on the suit priced at $140.

Discount in Suit Purchase:

$12\% \; of \; 140 =\frac{12}{100} \times 140 = 0.12 \times 140 = \$16.8$

Conclusion:

Discount in Suit Purchase ($16.8) is greater than Discount in Sweater Purchase ($15)
