A 12% discount on a tent saved melanie $75 what was the original price

1 answer:

7 0

So 12% of a number is $75
12% of x is 75
0.12 of x is 75
0.12 * x = 75
divide both numbers by 0.12
x = 625

To check:
12% of 625 =?= 75
75 = 75

Hope this helps

Solve using the elimination method:<br> X-3y=7<br> 3x + 3y=9

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$x=4\\\\y=-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

$x-3y=7$ Equation:1

$3x + 3y=9$ Equation:2

Dividing Equation:2 by '3' both the sides:

$x+y=3$

or $x=3-y$ Equation:3

Putting the vale of 'x' in Equation:1

$x-3y=7$

$(3-y)-3y=7\\\\3-y-3y=7\\\\3-4y=7\\\\$

Subtracting '3' both sides

$-4y=7-3\\\\-4y=4$

$y=\frac{4}{-4}$

$y=-1$

Putting value of 'y' in Equation:3

$x=3-y$

$x=3-(-1)\\\\x=3+1\\\\x=4$

The solution of the equations is :

$x=4\\\\y=-1$
