So I think you should set up an equation like this: 14.95x+16.88y=131.18 , x+y=8

so x=8-y, plug this into the original equation:
14.95(8-y)+16.88y=131.18
Evaluate: 119.60-14.95y+16.88y=131.18
Combine like terms: 119.60+1.93y=131.18
Subtract 119.60 from both sides. You get: 1.93y=11.58
Divide both sides by 1.93. You get y=6

Plug into second equation: x+y=8 ---> x+6=8 and solve for x. x=2

Christine bought 2 video games and 6 CDs. 14.95(2)+16.88(6)=131.18

20) Use the distributive property to factor the expression. 10xz − 20yz A) z(10x − 20y) B) 10(xz − 2yz) C) 10z(x − 2y) D) xyz(10
vekshin1

Answer:

The correct answer is C) 10z(x − 2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we look for the greatest common factor of those two numbers. Each can be divided by 10 and each have a z. So we divide each term by 10z and put that on the outside of the parenthesis.

Alonso is buying a new phone for $ 870
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Get 15% of 870:

   First, get 10 percent of 870, which is 87, then half that, which is 43.5

   Get the 87 and add the 43.5 on it, to get the full 15%, you end up with $130.5, which is the monthly payment.

(Only problem is that im pretty sure you put an extra 0, because if you just wrote 87 dollar's then you would've got 13.05, the actual answer, but if you add an extra 0 then you end up with 130$, just to let you know.)
