There are many ways to solve this problem. All you have to do is simple algebraic manipulation. Solve for b and h with the two simpler equations:
2b = 12; divide 2 on both sides to get b = 6
h - x = 2; add x to both sides to get h = (2 + x)

Plug this stuff into the first equation to solve for x. Once we solve for x, we can plug that x value into the equation for h. Because you can see we didn’t get an actual numerical value for h. So:
x + (2+x) + 6 = 14
Subtract 6 from both sides and distribute that plus sign to get rid of the parenthesis. Then combine the like terms to get:
2x + 2 = 8
Subtract 2 from both sides and divide by 2 to get x = 3

Finally plug it into the equation for h:
h = 2+3 = 5

Which point can be found using the vertical line x = –9 and the horizontal line y = 8?
Fudgin [204]
ANSWER

The point is
(-9,8).

EXPLANATION
When two nonparallel lines are drawn on the same plane, they will intersect at a unique point. This point represents the solution to the two systems of equations represented by the lines.

The vertical line
x = - 9

and the horizontal line
y = 8

will intersect at
(-9,8).

This is the unique solution to the two equations.

Randy ordered 3 T-shirts for $25.67 each and one skirt for $23.55 and an 8% tax. What is the total cost of the order?
DerKrebs [107]
KP - break this one down to three parts: Total cost of shirts, total cost of shirts and the skirt, and then including tax. 

3 T-shirts for $25.67 each would be 3 * 25.67 = 77.01
Shirts and skirt would be 77.01 + 23.55 = 100.56
Tax can be found quite a few different ways, the easiest of which would be multiplication. 

8% = .08

100.56 (total cost of clothes) * .08 (tax) = $8.05

Now just add tax and total cost of the clothes. Because of rounding, our answer might be slightly different but that's okay because it's multiple choice and only 1 answer makes sense!
