6x + 5y = 147 8x + 4y = 156

Mathematics
1 answer:
satela [25.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

[12, 15]

Step-by-step explanation:

{6x + 5y = 147

{8x + 4y = 156

-¾[8x + 4y = 156]

{6x + 5y = 147

{-6x - 3y = -117 ← New Equation

________________

2y = 30

___ ___

2 2

y = 15 [Plug this back into both equations to get the x-coordinate of 12]; 12 = x

So, using the Elimination Method, what I did here was took the bottom equation and multiplied it by -¾, turning 8x to -6x, canceling out all <em>x-terms</em><em>.</em><em> </em>It does not matter which variable you choose to eliminate, as long as you know what you are doing.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Mary Beth and her family ate a meal in a restaurant the cost of the meal was $34.50 the sales tax was 8% of the cost of the meal
nikdorinn [45]
The total cost would be the tax plus the cost of the meal. In order to find the tax you can set up a proportion: 8/100=x/34.5. Then you can cross multiply: (100•x)=(8•34.5). Then we have 100x=276. Divide both sides by 100 and we have x=2.76. This added to the 34.50 is equal to 37.26. Hope this helps!
