Answer:
x=3, y=8; (3,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
To use the substitution method, first solve for a variable.
2x+y=14
2x+y(-2x)=14(-2x)
y=14-2x
Now substitute y in the other equation with 14-2x
5x-2(14-2x)= - 1
Simplify by multiplying inside the parenthesis.
5x-28+4x= - 1
Combine the x values
9x-28= - 1
9x=27
x=3
Now substitute the x value in to solve for y
2(3)+y=14
6+y=14
y=8
Answer:
y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
11y + 4y + 60 = 180
11y + 4y = 120
15y = 120
y = 8
Answer:
11.11%
Step-by-step explanation:
So the question is:
$180 * (x)% = $y
Therefore $180 - $y = $160
Now:
180 - 160 = 20
Therefore; $20 is the discount
Now per cent of discount:
20/180 * 100 = 11.111111111111111111111%
therefore: per cent of discount is 11.11% (rounded to two decimal place)
