Alrighty mate.
I reckon the answer as hmmm...I'd say<u><em> D</em></u>. All ya gotta do is just cover up the opposite variable and solve for the intercept yar lookin' for.
I hope I helped mate.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
First city: $5,500
Second city: $5,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define x as the hotel price in the first city and y the hotel price in the second city. We can start with this equation:
y = x - 500 (The hotel before tax in the 2nd city was $500 lower than in the 1st.)
Then we can say
0.065x + 0.045y = 582.50 (the sum of the tax amounts were $582.50)
We place the value of y from the first equation in the second equation:
0.065x + 0.045 (x - 500) = 582.50
0.065x + 0.045x - 22.50 = 582.50 (simplifying and adding 22.5 on each side)...
0.11x = 605
x = 5,500
The cost of the first hotel was $5,500
Thus, the cost of the second hotel was $5,000 (x - 500)
After modelling the mathematical statement and solving its equivalent mathematical relation, we get x = -36.
<h3>What is Equation Modelling?</h3>
Equation modelling is the process of writing a given mathematical statement in the form of a numeric mathematical expression taking into considerations the operations, constants and other variables.
Given in the question is a number such that twice the difference of a number and 9 is equal to three times the sum of the number and 6.
Assume that the number is x. Now, we will model the equation and solve for x. According to the question, the following mathematical relation represents the statement-
2(x - 9) = 3(x + 6)
2x - 18 = 3x + 18
x = - 36
Therefore, the number is -36.
