Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Six times a number is decreased by fourteen, the result is 124.
Write an equation that represents this
(6 * x) - 14 = 124
Multiply 6 by x to remove the parenthesis
6x - 14 = 124
Add 14 to both sides of the equation
6x = 138
Divide both sides of the equation by 6
x = 23
The unknown number is
Hope this helps :)
The first one YES and the last one NO!
Let the steaks = X and the salmon = y.
Set up two equations:
15x + 18y = 559.81
19x + 9y = 583.66
Now using the elimination method:
Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.
(15x+18y=559.81)
−2(19x+9y=583.66)
Becomes:
15x+18y=559.81
−38x−18y=−1167.32
Add these equations to eliminate y:
−23x=−607.51
Divide both sides by -23 to solve for x:
x= -607.51 = -23 = 26.413478
Now you have the cost for a steak.
To solve for the cost of the salmon, replace x with the value in the first equation and solve for y.
15(26.413478) + 18y = 559.91
396.202174 + 18y = 559.81
Subtract 396.202174 from both sides:
18y = 163.607826
Divide both sides by 18:
y = 163.607826 / 18
y = 9.089324
Round both x and Y to the nearest cent:
X (Steaks) =$26.41
Y (Salmon) = $9.09
6% tax means 6% of $3.50
Convert 6% to decimal (move decimal 2 spots to the left): 6% ⇒ .06
Multiply 3.50 with .06 = .21 <-- That's .21 cents of 3.50
That means you have to pay an extra 21 cents. Add that to the $3.50 you had to pay.
$3.50 + $0.21 = $3.71 <-- Price after tax
