Answer:

119/100 = 357/X

Step-by-step explanation:

since 357 is the price with the extra 19% tax, you can put 119 and 357 as numerators in a fraction because thats the price % of total cost with the tax, then have the denominators as the normal price without tax. so 119/100 bc 119 is the total cost % with tax, and 100 as the normal cost %. same for the opposite side, 357/X. 357 being the price with the tax and X being the price without the tax. so you just cross multiply to find X. so 100 × 357 (35,700) then divide the answer of that by 119 (35,700/119) to find X (300)

Answer:

Those little "sticks" are called absolute value.

For example, the absolute value of 2 is 2, and the absolute value of −2 is also 2. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero along real number line.

Thus, it doesn't matter if the number is positive or negative. As it only counts its distance from 0, on the number line.

I hope it helps.

dusya [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

cant remember what this method is called but

change the second equation to be y = something

x + y = 10

y = -x + 10

plug in this y= in the first equation to get x

4x -2(-x + 10) = 4

4x + 2x -20 = 4

6x = 24

x = 4

then plug in the x we found into the original second equation

4 + y = 10

y = 6

so your ordered pair would be (4,6)
