Alright, so first we'll have to get y on the other side
So
2x+y=-9
-y -y
+9 +9
2x+9=-y
Then divide is all by -1 so y is positive
-2x-9=y
Answer:
−1131
Step-by-step explanation:
20% = 0.20
50 * 0.20 = $10 discount
50 - 10 = 40
The price after 20% discount is $40
If you know that
, then you know right away

###
Otherwise, you can derive the same result. Let
, so that
.
is bounded, so we know
. For these values of
, we always have
.
So, recalling the Pythagorean theorem, we find

Then

as expected.
