- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
4x + 5y = -12
-2x + 3y = -16
<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>
-2x + 3y = -16
- Multiply everything by 2: -4x + 6y = -32
<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>
4x + 5y = -12
-4x + 6y = -32
<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
<em>Elimination</em>
- Combine 2 equations: 11y = -44
- Divide 17 on both sides: y = -4
Answer: the original price of the shorts was $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the original price of the shorts.
The store is having a sale in which all items are reduced by 20%. This means that the amount of discount on the shorts is
20/100 × x = 0.2x
The price of the shorts would be
x - 0.2x = 0.8x
If the sales tax is 5%, then the amount of sales tax charged is
5/100 × 0.8x = 0.04x
The final cost of the shorts would be
0.8x + 0.04x = 0.84x
Including tax, Jennifer paid $21 for a pair of shorts. This means that
0.84x = 21
x = 21/0.84
x = 25
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, the profit formula:
PROFIT= TOTAL REVENUE - TOTAL COST
Next, note the points:
- Without Advertisement, Q = 6,000 where Q is quantity supplied
- A formula that gives the total profit P in dollars must take into account that 100cents = 1dollar
- Here, only a dollar is spent on advertisement, hence, Q = 6005
- Advertising expenses have been accounted for and [P = 9cents × Q] where Q is quantity sold.
- 9 cents = 0.09 dollars
TOTAL PROFIT FORMULA = 0.09Q - 500
Answer:
Area = 
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the shaded region is equal to the total area of the full square minus the area of the non shaded region.
The area of a rectangle is its base times its high
So A=b*a.
For the full square, A1=
For the non shaded square, A2 = 
So the shaded area is A1-A2 =
