Answer:
Let x = the charge in 1st city before taxes
Let y = the charge in 2nd city before taxes
Set up equation before taxes.
y = x - 1500 eq1
Set up equation for total tax paid.
0.065x + 0.06y = 378.75 eq2
Substitute eq1 into eq2.
0.065x + 0.06(x - 1500) = 378.75
0.065x + 0.06x - 90 = 378.75
0.125x - 90 = 378.75
0.125x = 468.75
x = 3750
Substitute this value of x into eq1.
y = 3750 - 1500
y = 2250
The hotel charge in city one is $3750 and the hotel charge in city two is $2250
Answer:
i think its an isoceles
Step-by-step explanation:
X^2 - 5x - 8 - <span>2x^2 + 4x + 3
= -x^2 - x - 5
hope that helps</span>
Y=9.25 because inorder to solve this we need to first take 5*.3 which equals 1.5 now that we have this we can move on we now have the equation 1.5 + 2y = 20 so now we need to continue working on getting y by it self so we subtract 1.5 from each side and then that leaves us with 2y=18.5 now we divide by 2 which leaves us with y=9.25 enjoy=)
The answer to this problem is x - 17.
