Y + 7 = 3x.....y = 3x - 7
6x - 2y = 12
6x - 2(3x - 7) = 12
6x - 6x + 14 = 12
14 = 12 (incorrect)
when ur variables cancel out and u r left with an incorrect statement, this means there is no solution because ur lines are parallel
so ur answer is : no solution
Answer: the original price of the skirt is $24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the skirt. if the original price of the blouse is 18, then the original price of the skirt and blouse is (x + 18)
Jade buys a blouse and a skirt for 3/4of their original price. It means that the amount at which she bought the skirt and blouse is
0.75(x + 18)
Applying the distributive property, it becomes
0.75x + 13.5
Jade pays a total of 31.50 for the two items. It means that
0.75x + 13.5 = 31.5
0.75x = 31.5 - 13.5
0.75x = 18
x = 18/0.75
x = $24
X is minus 2
y is equal to 1
Based on the number of seats on the balcony, the number of seats in the theatre are 600 seats.
<h3>What number of seats does the theatre have?</h3>
The balcony is said to have 120 seats and these are 1/5 of the total seats in the theatre.
The total number of seats in the theatre are:
= Number of seats on balcony / Proportion of seats this represents
Solving gives:
= 120 ÷ 1/5
= 120 ÷ 0.2
= 600 seats
