Answer:

D) multiply second equation by -6, solution (0,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

This pair of linear equations may be solved simultaneously by using the elimination method. This will involve ensuring that the coefficient of one of the unknown variables is the same in both equations.

As such, in the given set of equations

12x – 3y = 6

2x – y = 2

We may make the coefficients of x the same by multiplying the second by 6 or the coefficient of y by multiplying the second by 3. Using the first

12x – 3y = 6

12x – 6y = 12

equation 1 - equation 2

3y = -6

y = -2

2x + 2 = 2

x = 0

Answer: x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4(x-2)-3(x-2)

Distributive property

=4x-8-3x+6

Move the like terms together

=4x-3x-8+6

combine like terms. REMEMBER you need to change signs if it is negative signs outside

=x-(8-6)

Simplify

=x-2

Hope this helps!! :)

Selina bought a shirt on sale and she paid 80% of the original price . The sale price of the shirt was 5$ less than the original

Tpy6a [65]

So because it was $5 off, and she paid 80% of the original price, that would mean it would have been 20% off. That means 20% = $5. Multiply that by 5 to get to 100% and you find that the shirt is $25 originally. Then you can either multiply that 20% = $5 by 4 to get 80%, or just subtract $5 from the full price. That means Selina paid $20 for the shirt.
