Answer: m = -243
Explanation:
• Solve
-27 = m/9
•Multiply 9 by 27
m/9 * -27
• Result
m = -243
5x + y = 15
y = -5x + 15
Substituting y= -5x+15 from first equation into second equation:
3x + 2y = 16
3x + 2·(-5x + 15) = 16
3x - 10x + 30 = 16
-7x + 30 = 16
7x = 30 - 16 = 14
x = 2
Substituting x=2 into the first equation:
5x + y = 15
5(2) + y = 15
10 + y = 15
y = 15 - 10
y = 5
So your final answers are x=2 and y=5.
The discount is $1.19 unless you have to round up than it is $1.20. in order to solve this problem you would set up a proportion. So your proportion would be x over 7.99 = 15 over 100. Than you would cross multiply. 7.99*15=119.85. and 100*x=100x. than u divided both sides by a 100. than x= 1.19. which 1.19 is the discount.
