<span>6x – 7y = 16
2x + 7y = 24
This system is easily solvable by the elimination method as the y-terms are opposites of each other. You may add the two equations together and they will cancel out.

2x + 7y = 24

8x – 0 = 40
8x = 40
x = 5
Substitute 5 for x into either of the above equation and solve algebraically for y.
2x + 7y = 24
2(5) + 7y = 24
10 + 7y = 24
7y = 14
y = 2
Check work by plugging both x- and y-values into each original equation.
6x – 7y = 16 => 6(5) – 7(2) = 16 => 30 – 14 = 16
2x + 7y = 24 => 2(5) + 7(2) = 24 => 10 + 14 = 24
Answer:
x = 5; y = 2
(5, 2)
Is this a triangle? if so witch is the leg and the hypotenuse
The best thing to do is to find what 1% is, and you can do this by dividing 150 by 100.
150/100= 1.5
As you're looking for 6.5%, you've got to multiply 1.5 by 6.5
1.5*6.5= 9.75
You've then got to add 9.75 and 150 together
150+9.75= $159.75
Therefore, after the sales tax, the cost of the necklace is $159.75
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
I had done already.thanks for huge point and heart.
