Answer:
45/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can interpret the question to have two equation which can be solve simultaneously
a+b=7------------(1)
a-b=2------------(2)
From eqn(2) make a subject of formula
a=2+b--------(3)
Substitute the (3) into eqn(1)
a+b=7------------(1)
2+b+b=7
2b=7-2
2b=5
b=5/2
From equation (3) substitute value of b to find a
a=2+b--------(3)
a= 2+5/2
a=9/2
Then What is the value of a x b ?
9/2× 5/2
=45/4
The x-intercept is 3 and the y-intercept is -2
Area of rectangle is 7x9 which is 63
Area of the square=5x5 which is 25
So area is: 63-25=38
Answer:
$78, $79.20
Step-by-step explanation:
PART A: $60 times 1.3 = $78
you add 30% to 100% to get 130% since it is a mark up, and then you convert to a decimal by going to the left twice then multiplying by original price.
PART B
Since it is a discount you subtract 15 percent from 100, but then add back 5 percent since there is tax applied to get 90%, convert to decimal and multiply by original price to get $88 x .9 = $79.20
