3x - y = 6     ------------ (1)
y = x - 4       ------------ (2)

From (1) + (2) :
( 3x -  y) + y = 6 + (x - 4) 
3x - y + y = 6 + x - 4
3x = x + 2
2x = 2
x = 1 -------------  Sub into (2)

y = x - 4
y = 1 - 4
y = -3

Answer: x = 1, y = -3

You buy a watch for $60. Your friend buys the same watch a month later. It is now sold at a discount of 15%. What is the new sal
Natalka [10]

Answer:

$9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

                                     ~~~~Hey there~~~~

1. Since it was 15% discount, that means you have to solve 15% of 60, which is equivalent to 0.15 x 60.

2. Since the product of 0.15 and 60 is 9, then 9 is your answer.

3. Your final answer is $9.00

Hope this helped!

Find the values for a and b that would make the equality true.
zepelin [54]

Answer:

a = - 4, b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side, then compare the coefficients of like terms.

- 3(2x² + ax + b)

= - 6x² - 3ax - 3b, compare to - 6x² + 12x - 15

Compare coefficients of x- terms

- 3a = 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

a = - 4

Compare constant terms

- 3b = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

b = 5
