Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportion is
14/6 = 21/(3x - 12) Cross Multiply
14*(3x - 12) = 6*21 Remove the brackets and combine
42x - 168 = 126 Add 168 to both sides
42x = 126 + 168
42x = 294 Divide by 42
x = 294/42
x = 7
X/9=1
Multiply both sides by 9. So x=9.
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
The discount on the shirt is 15%
Discount = price* discount rate

= 20 * .15
=3
The new price is the previous price minus the discount
new price = 20-3
new price = 17
Your answer would be (x,y)=(2,-2)
