Answer:

£60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original cost be x.

x × (1 - 20%) = 48

0.8x = 48

x = 48/0.8

x = 60

The original cost was £60 before the sale.

write a system of linear equations that has only one solution. solve the system of equations in two ways.
Iteru [2.4K]
X + 5y = 1 . . . . (1)
8x - 2y = 3 . . . .(2)
Solution 1.
From (1), x = 1 - 5y
substituting for x in (2), we have:
8(1 - 5y) - 2y = 3
8 - 40y - 2y = 3
8 - 42y = 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
x = 1 - 5(5/42) = 1 - 25/42 = 17/42.

Solution 2.
Multiply (1) by 8, to get:
8x + 40y = 8 . . . . . (3)
(3) - (2) = 40y - (-2y) = 8 - 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
substitute for y into (3), to get:
8x + 40(5/42) = 8
8x + 100/21 = 8
8x = 8 - 100/21 = 68/21
x = (68/21)/8 = 17/42

Answer:

x = 58 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle K (which is x) and Angle I are congruent corresponding angles with one another, so if, as an example, Angle I was 10, Angle K would also be 10.

<u><em>All you need to do in this case is add Angle H (56) and Angle A (66) together:</em></u>

56 + 66 = 122

<u><em>Then subtract 122 from 180 (because triangles add up to 180 degrees) to get x:</em></u>

180 - 122 = 58

So, x = 58 degrees.
