Answer:
$14.23
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the original value by 1.035 to get your answer.
Answer:
Increasing a number by 5% and then by 20% is the same as increasing the original number by 26%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a number, x.
Now increase it by 5%.
1.05x
Now increase it by 20%.
1.2 * 1.05x = 1.26x
1.26x = 126% of x = 100% of x + 26% of x
100% of x is the same as x, so it is the same as the original x.
The increase is 26% of the original number.
Increasing a number by 5% and then by 20% is the same as increasing the original number by 26%.
Because you have two variables and only one equation, you can only solve for approximate answers, and not complete, absolute answers.
<h3><u>You can simplify this equation to x = -4y + 12</u></h3>
y - 3 = -1/4(x + 3)
Distributive property.
y - 3 = -1/4x - 3/4
Multiply all terms by 4.
4y - 12 = -x
Multiply all terms by -1
-4y + 12 = x
5x - 3y = 11 ⇒ 5x - 3y = 11 ⇒ 5x - 3y = 11
x - 2y = 2 ⇒ -5(x - 3y) = 2 ⇒ <u>-5x + 15y = 2</u>
<u>12y</u> = <u>13</u>
12 12
y = 1 1/12
5x - 3(1 1/12) = 11
5x - 3 1/4 = 11
<u> +3 1/4 +3 1/4</u>
<u> 5x</u> = <u>14 1/4</u>
5 5
x = 2 17/20
(x, y) = (2 17/20, 1 1/12)
