We need to solve the following system by substituition:

To solve by substituition means that we need to isolate one variable in one of the equations and replace one expression with the other. This is done below:

Then we need to replace the value of "x" in any of the two equations.

The solution is (-3,-5).
If they were equal both times they checked this means that 15% of their $ was equal to $210
so 15/100 = 210/x
so .15x=210
x=210/.15
x = 1400
Answer:
5 is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there...
2( x - 6) < 1/2(12x - 8)
2x - 12 < (12x- 8)/2
2x - 12 < 6x - 4
2x - 6x < -4 + 12
-4x < 8
Divide both sides by -4
-4x/-4 < 8/-4
x > - 2
