X = (1/2)y + 6
x + y = 21
Substitute (1/2)y + 6 as x into the equation x + y = 21 since x = (1/2)y + 6.
[(1/2)y + 6] + y = 21
0.5y + 6 + y = 21
1.5y = 15
y = 10
Same thing, now substitute 10 as y in the other equation.
x + y = 21
x + (10) = 21
x = 11
Answer:
$61.18
Step-by-step explanation:
The price last week was an unknown. We will call it x. x is an entire amount, so it is 100% of x.
This week, the price is 15% lower. Since 100% - 15% = 85%, the price this week is 85% of what it was last week. Last week it was x, so this week, the price is 85% of x.
85% of x = $52
0.85x = $52
Divide both sides by 0.85:
0.85x/0.85 = $52/0.85
x = $61.1764...
Answer: $61.18
(3x+8)(3x+8) is the answer :))
It will be 5 down from Olivier's graph at -3 (Oliver's is at 2)
