Answer:

The original selling price would be $ 515.87 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original selling price ( in dollars ),

After marking down 10%,

New selling price = x - 10% of x = x - 0.1x = 0.9x

Again after marking down 30%,

Final selling price = 0.9x - 30% of 0.9x

= 0.9x - 0.3 × 0.9x

= 0.9x - 0.27x

= 0.63x

According to the question,

0.63x = 325

\implies x =\frac{325}{0.63}\approx 515.87

Hence, the original selling price would be $ 515.87.

Solve systems of equations by algebraically x-2y=7 <br> 2x+5y =5
Natali [406]

Answer:

(5,-1) or x=5 y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the substitution method to solve this!

<em>1. Pick one of your equations and solve for one of the variables. I chose the first equation and solved for x.</em>

x-2y=7

(Move the -2y to the other side of the equation in order to get the x by itself. You do the opposite, so it becomes +2y.)

x=2y+7

<em>2. Now take your second equation and plug in what you got for x into the x variable.</em>

2(2y+7)+5y=5

(Multiple 2 by everything inside of the parentheses.)

4y+14+5y=5

(We want to get the y by itself, so move the 14 to the other side.)

4y+5y=-14+5

(Combine all the like terms.)

9y=-9

(Divide the 9 from the y. What you do to one side you must do to the other.)

y=-1

<em>3. Since you have one variable solved for. Now take the first equation and plug in your y.</em>

x-2(-1)=7

(Multiple -2 by -1)

x+2=7

(Move the 2 to the other side in order to get the x by itself.)

x=5

<em>4. If needed, plug in your x and y values into the equations in order to check your answer.</em>

Hope this could help!

(3x + 5y = 7<br> { 4x - y = 5
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution by substitution method

3x+5y=7

and 4x-y=5

Suppose,

3x+5y=7→(1)

and 4x-y=5→(2)

Taking equation (2), we have

4x-y=5

⇒y=4x-5→(3)

Putting y=4x-5 in equation (1), we get

3x+5y=7

⇒3x+5(4x-5)=7

⇒3x+20x-25=7

⇒23x-25=7

⇒23x=7+25

⇒23x=32

⇒x=32/23

→(4)

Now, Putting x=32/23

in equation (3), we get

y=4x-5

⇒y=4(32/23)-5

⇒y=(128-115)/23

⇒y=13/23

∴y=13/23   and x=32/23

Solve this question in the following photo​
katovenus [111]

Answer:

55/43

Step-by-step explanation:

(x/y) = 7/3, (x^2/y^2)=49/9, multiply by 3 above and multiply 2 below, 3x^2/2y^2=147/18. Next apply C&D and you will get (3x^2+2y^2)/(3x^2-2y^2)=(147+18)/(147-18)=165/129=55/43
