Answer:

Option D. (8, – 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8 ..... (1)

x – y = 12.... (2)

To solve the above equation by elimination method, do the following:

Step 1:

Multiply equation 1 by the coefficient of x in equation 2 i.e 1.

Multiply equation 2 by the coefficient of x in equation 1 i.e 3. This is illustrated below:

1 × Equation 1

1 × (3x + 4y = 8)

3x + 4y = 8 ...... (3)

3 × Equation 2

3 × ( x – y = 12)

3x – 3y = 36......(4)

Step 2:

Subtract equation 3 from equation 4. This is illustrated below:

. 3x – 3y = 36

– (3x + 4y = 8)

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

– 7y = 28

Divide both side by the coefficient of y i.e –7

y = 28/–7

y = – 4

Step 3:

Substitute the value of y into any of the equation to obtain the value of x. In this case, we shall substitute the value of y into equation 2 as shown below:

x – y = 12

y = –4

x – (–4) = 12

x + 4 = 12

x = 12 – 4

x = 8

Therefore, the solution to the equation above is (8, – 4)

Use the Distributive Property to simplify the expression.<br> 8(5g+5−2)=
Vaselesa [24]
You multiply the number 8 to each term in the parentheses. 8 x 5g = 40g; 8 x 5 = 40; 8 x (-2) = -16 Combine these together and it would be 40g + 40 - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write quadratic

x² - 24x + 144 = 0

Step 2: Factor

(x - 12)(x - 12) = 0

Step 3: Find roots

Stefan sells Jim a bicycle for $175 and a helmet for $17. The total cost for Jim is 160% of what Stefan spent originally to buy
Nady [450]

Answer:

Stefan spend $120 originally.

Stefan made $72 by selling bicycle and helmet to Jim.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of bicycle = $175

Cost of Helmet = $17

Percent of total cost of Jim = 160% of original cost of Stefan

We need to find the Amount Stefan spend originally and money he made by selling the bicycle and helmet to Jim.

Solution:

Let the Amount Stefan spend originally be 'x'.

Total Cost of Jim is equal to sum of Cost of bicycle and Cost of Helmet.

framing in equation form we get;

Total Cost of Jim = 175+17 =\$192

Now we know that;

Total Cost of Jim is equal to 160% of  Amount Stefan spend originally.

framing in equation form we get;

192 = \frac{160}{100}\times x\\\\192 =1.6x

Dividing both side by 1.6 we get;

\frac{192}{1.6}=\frac{1.6x}{1.6}\\\\x= \$120

Hence Stefan spend $120 originally.

Now we can say that;

Money Stefan made is equal to Money Stefan spend originally minus Total Cost of Jim.

framing in equation form we get;

Money Stefan made = 192-120 =\$72

Hence Stefan made $72 by selling bicycle and helmet to Jim.
