Can you take the quantity [ x + y ] and square it ?
Can you take the quantity [ x + 2y ] and square it ?
Then you should have no trouble with the square of (.9x + .8y) .
The square of any binomial (expression with 2 terms) is
(square of the first term)
+ (square of the second term)
+ 2 times (product of the terms) .
Lets calculate the taxes that would been payed at each city:
city1 = 12000(7%) = 12000(0.07) = 840
city2 = <span>12000(8.5%) = 12000(0.085) = 1020
So if you go to city1 instead of city2, you save 1020 - 840 = 180
So you would save $180 from $12000, that is:
180 out of 12000
= 180/12000
= 0.015
and that is the 1.5%, that is what you could save</span>
The solution to the systems of equations is (7, 3)
Given the systems of equations expressed as:
-x + 4y = 5 ....................1
x - 5y = -2 ...................... 2
Add both equations to have:
-x+x + 4y - 5y = 5 - 2
4y-5y = -3
-y = -3
y = 3
Substitute y = 3 into equation 1:
-x + 4(3) = 5
-x + 12 = 5
-x = 5 - 12
-x = -7
x = 7
Hence the solution to the systems of equations is (7, 3)
