we have to solve for x , solving for x means , we have to isolate x one one side , by shifting all other variables to other side
So

Multiply both sides by 2
2A = h(x+y)
Divide both sides by h
2A/h = x+y
Subtract y from both sides

or

You would want to multiply equation a by -5 so you can eliminate by addition
3x - 6y = 20
-6y = -3x + 20
y = 1/2x - 20/6.....slope = 1/2...y int = -20/6 = -10/3
2x - 4y = 3
-4y = -2x + 3
y = 1/2x - 3/4..slope = 1/2...y int = -3/4
same slope, different y int = parallel lines = no solution = inconsistent
It’s the first one ( quadratic )
Answer:
£10.71
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the original price including discount od shorts = £15
Percent discount = 40%
Original price = x
Using the expression to calculate x
x + (40%of x) = 15
x +0.4x = 15
1.4x = 15
x = 15/1.4
x = £10.71
Hence the non sale price is £10.71
