Answer: i get $340

Step-by-step explanation:

700-20= 680

680÷2= 340

Another way to look at it is :

Let p =friends guitar

2p= twice

2p+20=700

2p=700-20

2p=680

P= 680÷2

P=340 is friends guitar

Hello,

I have reply too quick in comments (sorry)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}log_x (27)+log_y (4)=5\\log_x (27)-log_y (4)=1\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2*log_x (27)=6\\2*log_y (4)=4\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}log_x (27)=3\\log_y (4)=2\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x^{log_x (27)}=x^3\\y^{log_y (4)}=y^2\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}27=x^3\\4=y^2\\\end{array}\right.\\\\\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=3\\y=2\\\end{array}\right.\\\\$
