Answer:
Step 1 : Multiple both sides by 2
3x + 2y = 1
4x - 2y = 20
Step 2 : Eliminate 1 variable by adding the equations
7x = 21
Step 3 : Divide both sides by 7 to solve for x
x = 3
Step 4: Substitute the value of x into 3x + 2y = 1
3(3) + 2y = 1
Step 5: Solve for y
2y = 1 - 9
2y = -8
*divide by 2
y = - 4
Solution:
(x,y) = (3, -4)
A = 5a
B = 2x
C = 6x^2
D = 5/7
E = 2/11
F= 6/x^2
G = 6a
H = -7x
And ........ how am I supposed to do that
Answer: $20
Step-by-step explanation:
Here os the correct question:
Stephanie saw in an ad in the paper that her favorite kind of perfume was on sale for 25% off. If the sale price was $15, what was the original price of the perfume?
Let the original price of the perfume be y.
Since we are told that 25% is off, that means that 25% has been deducted from the original price. This can be written as:
y - (25% of y) = $15
y - (25/100 × y) = $15
y - 0.25y = $15
0.75y = $15
Divide both side by 0.75
0.75y/0.75 = $15/0.75
y = $20
The original price of the perfume is $20
