Are you asking to simplify all of those equations?
Answer:
Some of the other answers are good examples of solving a system of three equations in three unknowns, which is what this problem is asking. Though the simplest way to solve this problem is actually to notice that, if we sum the three equations, we get:
X + Y = 10
X + Z = 20
+ Y + Z = 24
----------------
2X + 2Y + 2Z = 54
Factoring out the 2, we have 2(X + Y + Z) = 54, and dividing both sides by 2 reveals that X + Y + Z = 27.

The required equation is:

EXPLANATION
The given equation is

Dividing through by 225 we obtain;

This is a hyperbola that has it's centre at the origin.
If this hyperbola is translated so that its center is now at (0,5).
Then its equation becomes:

We multiply through by 225 to get;

We now expand to get;


The equation of the hyperbola in general form is

Answer: the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is $55.65
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial price of the jacket is $75.
Luke bought a jacket that was 30% off the cost. This means that the amount of discount on the Jacket is
30/100 × 75 = 0.3 × 75 = $22.5
The price of the jacket after the discount had been applied is
75 - 22.5 = $52.5
He paid sales tax of 6% after the discount had been applied. This means that the amount of sales tax that he paid on the jacket is
6/100 × 52.5 = 0.06 × 52.5 = 3.15
Therefore, the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is
52.5 + 3.15 = $55.65
