Answer:
p = 
and q = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations:
2p - 3q = 4 -----------(i)
3p + 2q = 9 ------------(ii)
Let's solve this equation simultaneously using the <em>elimination method</em>
(a) Multiply equation (i) by 3 and equation (ii) by 2 as follows;
[2p - 3q = 4] x 3
[3p + 2q = 9] x 2
6p - 9q = 12 -------------(iii)
6p + 4q = 18 -------------(iv)
(b) Next, subtract equation (iv) from equation (iii) as follows;
[6p - 9q = 12]
<u> - [6p + 4q = 18] </u>
<u> -13q = -6 </u> -----------------(v)
<u />
<u>(c)</u> Next, make q subject of the formula in equation (v)
q =
(d) Now substitute the value of q = into equation (i) as follows;
2p - 3() = 4
(e) Now, solve for p in d above
<em>Multiply through by 13;</em>
26p - 18 = 52
<em>Collect like terms</em>
26p = 52 + 18
26p = 70
<em>Divide both sides by 2</em>
13p = 35
p =
Therefore, p = and q =
Answer: 560
Step-by-step explanation:
There are [20, 22, 24, 26, 28]: 5 even integers for each ten numbers.
The 20's set can be written as 5*20 + (2+4 + 6 + 8) = 5*20 + (20) = 120
The 30's can be written: 5*30 + 20 = 170
40's: 5*40+20 = 220
50's: 5*50+20 = 270
60's: 5*60+20 = 320
Each set is incremented by 50
We want the sets for 20, 30, and 40, plus the number 50.
(120+170+220+50) = 560
You can also do this in Excel (attached). Set the first cell to 20, the next cell below equal to the cell above plus 2. Then draw the second cell down until you've reached 50. Then sum the cells to arrive at 560.
Take the equation: y = 520 + 14x and put each value from the table in for x and y.
100 = 520 + 14 * -30
100 = 520 + -420
100 = 100 When we get an answer like this where the numbers on both sides of the equation match, we know that this (x,y) point is a part of the solution to the function.
So, you would work through each line in the table. If they are all like the one above, the answer is Yes. If not, it is no.
To do this, you first do 3^3. this is 27.
now because of the minus part, you have to do this under 1 (a reciprocal).
your answer is 1/27
Answer: the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is $55.65
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial price of the jacket is $75.
Luke bought a jacket that was 30% off the cost. This means that the amount of discount on the Jacket is
30/100 × 75 = 0.3 × 75 = $22.5
The price of the jacket after the discount had been applied is
75 - 22.5 = $52.5
He paid sales tax of 6% after the discount had been applied. This means that the amount of sales tax that he paid on the jacket is
6/100 × 52.5 = 0.06 × 52.5 = 3.15
Therefore, the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is
52.5 + 3.15 = $55.65
