An easy this to do is use desmos... an online graphing site that will allow you to graph the curves and points...

The alternate method is to subsitute each point into each equations...
I just did (-2, 2) into A... that point is not on the curve.. that would be the hard way. Subsituting x = -2 y = 18 so (-2, 2) isn't on the curve.
so eliminate A
repeat the process with B etc is (-2, 2) in on the curve, then select the next point and check.
That's why graphing is easier
69% can be written as
69/100
That cannot be reduced any further since 69 and 100 do not have any common factors other than 1
<u>Answer:</u>
The system of equations are
x + y = 2600 …….equation (1)
and, 6x + 5y = 13700 ……equation (2)
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let x = amount of sales of phone;
y = amount of sales of computer
For phone, 6% of sales is 6% of x, or 6% * x = 0.06x.
Similarly for computer,
5% of y = 0.05y
Given the total sales; x + y = 2600
And commission; 0.06x + 0.05y = 137; or 6x + 5y = 13700
Therefore the system of equations are
x + y = 2600 …….equation (1)
6 x + 5 y = 13700 ……equation (2)
