Answer:
50% off
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve simultaneously.
4x - y = 8
6x + y = 2
Multiply top equation by 6, and bottom equation by 4, to eliminate x, so that we can find y.
~
24x - 6y = 48
24x - 4y = 8
Subtract top from bottom to form one equation.
~
-2y = 40
Therefore y is 20.
Put y back in to an equation, such as 4x - y = 8.
~
4x - 20 = 8
4x = 28
x = 7
False
Exponents should not be simplified.
