Answer:
y - x = - 2 b
Step-by-step explanation:
Given-
3 x + 2 y = 5 a + b...................(i)
4 x - 3 y = a + 7 b.....................(ii)
<em><u>Multiply by 3 and 2 in equation (i) & (ii) respectively-</u></em>
<em><u>Add equation (iii) & (iv)-</u></em>
9 x + 6 y = 15 a + 3 a...................(iii)
<u>8 x - 6 y = 2 a + 14 b</u> ...................(iv)
17 x = 17 a + 17 b
<u>x = a + b</u>
Put x = a + b in equation (i)-
<em>2 y = 5 a + b - 3 a - 3 b</em>
<em>2 y = 2 a - 2 b</em>
<u>y = a - b </u>
<em>∴ y - x = a - b - ( a + b )</em>
<em>y - x = a - b - a - b</em>
y - x = - 2 b
Answer:
a) $19.2
b) 0.8x
c) $17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We want to find the discount price given the regular price
The discount is 20%
so the discount price will be;
24 - 20% of 24
24 - 4.8 = $19.2
b) We have this as;
x - (20% of x)
x - 0.2x = 0.8x
c) let the original price be x
x - 20% of x = 14
x - 0.2x = 14
0.8x = 14
x = 14/0.8
x = $17.5
Answer:
