it helps you because you can divide the bottom to the top or vice versa or you can divide x and y
X and y are the numbers
x>y
diffference is 42
x-y=42
larger is 3 less than 6 times smaller
x=-3+6y
subsitute -3+6y for x
x-y=42
-3+6y-y=42
-3+5y=42
add3 to both sides
5y=45
divide both sides by 5
y=9
sub back
x=-3+6y
x=-3+6(9)
x=-3+54
x=51
the numbers are 51 and 9
Answer:
First city: $5,500
Second city: $5,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define x as the hotel price in the first city and y the hotel price in the second city. We can start with this equation:
y = x - 500 (The hotel before tax in the 2nd city was $500 lower than in the 1st.)
Then we can say
0.065x + 0.045y = 582.50 (the sum of the tax amounts were $582.50)
We place the value of y from the first equation in the second equation:
0.065x + 0.045 (x - 500) = 582.50
0.065x + 0.045x - 22.50 = 582.50 (simplifying and adding 22.5 on each side)...
0.11x = 605
x = 5,500
The cost of the first hotel was $5,500
Thus, the cost of the second hotel was $5,000 (x - 500)
I think its either A or D
Hope this helps!
