Multiply each equation by a number that produces opposite

Mathematics
1 answer:
OLga [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We could multiply the first equation by -3 and, separately, multiply the second equation by 4.  The result would be:

-12x - 15y = -21

12x  - 8y = -48

the x terms now cancel.  The result is:

- 15y = -21

- 8y = -48

----------------

-23y = -69, or y = 3.  If y = 3, then 3x - 2y = -12 becomes:

3x - 2(3) = -12, or

3x - 6 = -12, or    3x = -6, and so x = -2.

The solution is (-2, 3).

The perimeter and the area of a rectangle have the same numerical value.
Sophie [7]

Formula

2*(L + W) = L * W

Given

W = 3

Solution

2*(L + 3) = 3*L

2L+ 6 = 3L                      Subtract 2L from both sides

2L - 2L + 6 = 3L - 2L      combine

6 = L

Answer: The length is 6 units long.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Total = \$103.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Amount =\$160

D_1 = 30\% --- first discount

D_2 = 10\% --- second discount

Sales\ Tax = 7.5\%

Required

Determine the amount paid

First, we add the total discount:

D = D_1  + D_2

D = 30\% + 10\%

D = 40\%

If she got a discount of 40%, then she paid 60% (i.e. 100% - 40%)

So:

Amount = 60\% * \$160

Amount = \$96

Calculate the sales tax

Sales\ Tax = 7.5\% * \$96

Sales\ Tax = \$7.2

Total = \$96 + \$7.2

Total = \$103.20
