Well using elimination is easy because they basically did it for you.
4x-5y=-6
2x+5y=12
The postive 5y and negative 5y cancel out because -5y plus 5y is zero.
so you are left with
4x=-6
2x=12
Add these together
6x=18
divide both sides by 6 and Solve to find your x
x=3
Now we have to eliminate x to find y.
we multiply the second equation by -2 so it can cancel out so
(2x+5y=12)-2
-4x-10y=24
Add the equations together
4x-5y=-6
-4x-10y=24
You are left with -15y = 30
Solve for y
y = -2
So your final answer for the elimination would be
(3,-2)
Example: -2 times -2= 4 -2times 2= -4
So basically when you divide and multiply the same signs . the answer is positive. if the signs are different then the answer is negative
Price of 3 shirts=$18*3=$54
Price of 2 pair of socks=2*$3.99=$7.98
Price of a pair of slack=$45
Total amount- $54+$7.98+ $45-$106.98
Sales tax rate = 8.5%
8.5% of total amount-8.5% of $106.98=
(8.5/100)*106.98-9.0933
Total amount Rick paid=$106.98+9.0933=$116.0733
