1/2 of 8 is 4, so paying 1/2 is the same as paying 4/8 of the bill.
Ok so in solving systems of linear equations, we first find the value of a variable. By looking at the equations, solving for x by using the second equation seems the easiest.
x - y = -5
x = -5 + y
x = y - 5
Then we plug in the equation of x into the first equation and solve for y.
x - 2y = 19
y - 5 - 2y = 19
-3y - 5 = 19
-3y = 24
-y = 8
y = -8
Now we plug in y = -8 in the solved equation for x
x = y - 5
x = -8 - 5
x = - 13
Therefore, x = -13 and y = -8
Hope this helps!
The answer is 3, just do 20*0.15 (covert 15% into a decimal).
Answer:
-1, -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since multiplication by 0 will result in 0, any value of x resulting in 0
(-1+1)(-1+2)=0
0x1=0
(-2+1)(-2+2)=0
-1x0=0
