Basically you're solving for both variables here.
I prefer elimination method so that is what I used.
I started off by multiplying each equation in order to get one of the variables at the same value so it would be possible to cancel it out.
Multiplying the first equation by 3 gave me,
12x + 15y = 69
Then I multiplied the second equation by 4,
-12x + 28y = -56
As you can see, it's not possible to cancel out the x variable.
12x + 15y = 69
+(-12x + 28y = -56)
_____________
13y = 13
Then just solve for y which gives you -1.
After you have one variable solved simply insert it into one of the original equations to find the other variable.
4x + 5(-1) = 23
4x - 5 = 23
4x = 28
x = 7.
And there you have it! Hope this helped!

O preço à vista de uma mercadoria é R$ 130,00. O comprador pode pagar 20% no ato da compra e o restante em uma única parcela ven
lukranit [14]

Resposta: a) R $ 114,40

Explicação passo a passo:

Dado o seguinte:

Preço à vista da mercadoria = R $ 130

Pagamento inicial = 20% na compra

O saldo pode ser parcelado, o que adicionará 10% ao saldo devedor.

Portanto ; Pagamento inicial :

20% * 130

0,2 * 130 = R $ 26

Saldo devedor = R $ (130 - 26) = R $ 104

Parcela total devida:

Saldo de débito + 10% do saldo de débito

10% do saldo devedor:

0,1 * 104 = R $ 10,40

Parcela total:

R $ (104,00 + 10,40) = R $ 114,40

-8 + 3h = 1 <br>i need help its a 2 step equation​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

h = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-8 + 3h = 1

Add 8 to both sides.

3h = 1 + 8

Add 1 and 8 to get 9.

3h = 9

Divide both sides by 3.

h = \frac{9}{3}

Divide 9 by 3 to get 3.

h = 3
