Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out the sales tax rate, we divide the sales tax by the cost of the item. This will give us what percent of the cost of the item the sales tax is equal to.
So, 20.4 divided by 340 = 0.06
To convert to percent, we multiply 0.06 by 100=6. Therefore, the sales tax rate is 6%.
Check:
340 times 0.06 (the sales tax rate) is 20.4 (the sales tax).
X = 4 , y = -1
Explanation:
solve by elimination ie eliminate x or y from the equations by performing operations on them.
first label the equations , to follow the process.
x - y = 5 ----------------(1)
x+ y = 3 ----------------(2)
If (1) and (2) are added then y will be eliminated.
(1) + (2) gives : 2x = 8 → x = 4
now substitute this value of x into either of the 2 equations and solve for y.
let x = 4 in (1) : 4 - y = 5 → -y = 1 → y = -1
check in (1) : 4-(-1) = 4+1 = 5
check in(2) : 4 - 1 = 3

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let : x the length and y the width .... ( x > y and x ; y reals numbers )
the perimeter is : 2(x+y)
2(x+y) = 55...(1)
x/y = 7/4 ...(2)
by (2) : x = (7/4)y
subsct in (1) : 2( (7/4)y +y ) =55
(7/2)y +2y =55
multiply by 2
7y +4y = 110
11y = 110
y = 10
x = (7/4)(10)
x = 35/2
