Let p be the pre-tax cost. Then 1.08p = $50. Solving for p, the pre-tax cost, we get:

p = ($50) / (1.08) = $46.30.

Elimination_4x_2y=14<br> _10x+7y=_24

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The answer is $x=-\frac{50}{8}$ and $y=\frac{11}{2}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-4x-2y=14

-10x+7y=-24

Now, to solve it by elimination:

$-4x-2y=14$ ......(1)

$-10x+7y=-24$ ......(2)

So, we multiply the equation (1) by 7 we get:

$-28x-14y=98$

And, we multiply the equation (2) by 2 we get:

$-20x+14y=-48$

Now, adding both the new equations:

$-28x-14y+(-20x+14y)=98+(-48)$

$-28x-14y-20x+14y=98-48$

$-28x-20x-14y+14y=50$

$-8x=50$

<em>Dividing both the sides by -8 we get:</em>

$x=-\frac{50}{8}$

Now, putting the value of $x$ in equation (1):

$-4x-2y=14$

$-4(-\frac{50}{8})-2y=14$

$\frac{200}{8} -2y=14$

$25-2y=14$

<em>Subtracting both sides by 25 we get:</em>

$-2y=-11$

<em>Dividing both sides by -2 we get:</em>

$y=\frac{11}{2}$

Therefore, the answer is $x=-\frac{50}{8}$ and $y=\frac{11}{2}.$

The length of the repel line using one of the 3 trigonometry ratios will be 186.78 feet.

<h3>How to calculate the length?</h3>

From the information given, Peyton is walking her dog, Willow, on a local trail and the dog falls 153 feet down a ravine.

The length will be calculated thus:

Cos 35° = 153/AC.

AC = 153/cos 35°

AC = 153/0.819

AC = 186.78 feet.

Therefore, the length is 186.78 feet.
