If there is 10% of $18 = 18 x 0.9 (1 - 0.1) = $16.20
Therefore the pie costs $16.20
He is saving 18 - 16.20 = $1.80
It should be 11. hope this helps :)
Use elimination.
-x = -6
X = 6
-4 (6) + 4y = 12
Y = 9
(X,y)
(6,9) is the solution
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
x = 1/2 (1 +\- i sqrt(23))
Discussion:
x \3x - 2 = (x/3)*x - 2 = (x^2)/3 - 2 (*)
1 \3x - 4 = (1/3)x - 4 (**)
(*) = (**) =>
(x^2)/3 -2 = (1/3)x - 4 => multiply both sides by 3
x^2 - 6 = x - 12 => subtract x from both sides
x^2 -x -6 = -12 => add 12 to both sides
x^2-x +6 = 0
Using the quadratic formula gives:
x = 1/2 (1 +\- i sqrt(23))
Thank you,

60 * 3 = 180 and 90 * 2 = 180
if they are supplementary angles than they equal 180 together.
angle p is three times less than twice the measure of angle q so that means 180/3 = angle p and 180/2 = angle q.
Angle q is 90 and twice that is 180 and Angle p is 60 and three times that is 180
so 60 is three times less than twice the measure of 90.
60 three times is 180 and 90 twice is 180 which means 3p = 2q and you have 180 because they are supplementary angles so you have really 180/3 = p and 180/2 = q
The answer is p = 60 and q = 90
