Solve by Elimination b) -4x+2y=-4 4x-5y=-8

Mathematics
1 answer:
ruslelena [56]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 3

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x+2y=-4   -----(eq1)

4x-5y=-8 ------(eq 2)

by elimination,

(eq1) + (eq 2),

(-4x+2y) + (4x-5y) = -4 + (-8)

-4x+2y + 4x-5y = -4 -8

2y-5y = -12

-3y = -12   (divide both sides by -3)

y = -12 / (-3) = 12/3 = 4  (sub back into (eq 1) )

-4x+2y=-4   -----(eq1), when y = 4,

-4x+2(4)=-4  

-4x+8 = -4    (subtract 8 from both sides)

-4x= -4   - 8

-4x= -12 (divide both sides by -4)

x = -12 / (-4) = 3

The sales tax in your state is 5% if a car costs $24,600 what is the total cost including tax?
Svetach [21]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

$25830

Step-by-step explanation:

If 100% of the car price is 24,600 , then you can imagine that extra 5% being added to this

100 + 5 = 105

So you need to find what 105% of the cost was.

To do this you can use the percentage formula:

Amount x \frac{percentage}{100}

Now, you can simply plug the values into this

24,600 x \frac{105}{100}

24600 x 1.05 = 25830

<h3>So the total cost including tax would be $25830!</h3><h3 /><h2>Hope this helps!</h2>
