Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The new bike costs 180 dollars
Parents paid 40%
what is a percentage? per cent= divide by 100
parents paid 180 *40/100=180*0.4=72 dollars
Jennifer has to pay the rest
180-72=108
Pemdas, so exponent before multiply
so do a^-1/2 then multiply it by 2
remember that
![x^ \frac{m}{n}= \sqrt[n]{x^m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%20%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5Em%7D%20%20)
and
therefor,
the we multiply by 2
Answer:
They say that the sum of the two numbers (x and y) is 64, so we can write our first equation by adding them and setting that sum equal to 64:
x + y = 64
The question also tells us that their difference is 14. Similarly to before, we'll just subtract the two numbers and set that difference equal to 14:
x - y = 14
Now from here, you know how to continue with substitution to find the values for x and y. Just remember when you get a word problem to break it down and look for key words like sum, difference, or product, and from there you'll be able to build your system of equations.
