Solution:
Let:
To get the value of x, we add the Equation 1 and 2.
13x = -21 - 6y
+ - 8x = 36 + 6y
We will get:
5x=15
Calculate:
x= 3
Since x= 3, we plug in what we know:
13x = -21 - 6y
13(3) = -21 - 6y
39 = -21 - 6y
Simplify and rearrange:
-6y = 39 + 21
-6y= 60
Calculate:
y= -10
Therefore, the values are x= 3, y= -10 or (3,-10).
Hello!
You divide how much tax was by the total cost of the shoes
5.60 / 70 = 0.08
Convert the decimal into a percent
The answer is 8%
Hope this helps!
The way that you would do this is by taking
out of the binomial, or as I like to think about it, 'un-distributing'. :p
out of

Since x is the cost of the oranges per pound in cents, the total amount spent on oranges in cents is 3x. Then, you spent 59 cents on cucumbers and 35 cents on bananas. The total amount spent on all food is the sum of the individuals. 3x+59+35. Combine like terms to get 3x+94. This will give you your total in cents. If you need a total in dollars, you would just multiply that expression by 0.01.
