(x-2) + (x-1) + x + (x+1) + (x-2) + (x+3) = 447
6x + 3 = 447
6x = 447 - 3
6x = 444
x = 444/6
x = 74
This is a more difficult one to explain. Let's start with the line to the right. It has a slope (m) of
= -1 and a y-intercept of +3 (continue the line to see where it crosses the y-axis). So, the equation of that line is: y = -x + 3 when x ≥ 2. This can also be written as y = 3 - x when x ≥ 2. The only option that has that equation is A.
Answer: A
25.02-24=1.02
1.02/24=0.0425
The sales tax rate is 4.25%.
Answer:
The solution is the point (0.5,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
----> equation A
----> equation B
Solve the system by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A

Solve for x
Adds 5 both sides


Divide by 4 both sides

therefore
The solution is the point (0.5,-3)
<em>Verify your answer using the graph</em>
using a graphing tool
Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs
The intersection point is (0.5,-3)
therefore
The solution is the point (0.5,-3)
