Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y.
x-y=44.38
x+y=196.12
Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to)
x=y+44.38
x=196.12-y
Set them equal to each other.
y+44.38=196.12-y
Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x.
x=120.24
y=75.86
Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is $412.
Let's first calculate simple interest. Simple interest (I) can be expressed as:
I = P * r * t
P - principal
r - rate
t - time period
It is given:
I = ?
P = $400
r = 3% = 0.03
t = 1 year
Therefore:
I = P * r * t = 400 * 0.03 * 1 = 12
The total amount Kate will repay is the principal amount (P) plus 3% simple interest (I):
P + I = 400 + 12 = $412
Order of Operations = Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, PEMDAS. P= Parentheses E=Exponents M= Multiplication D= Division A= Addition and S= Subtraction in that order.
The answer
4-10+12/3+(7^2-7)
4-10+12/3+(49-7)
4-10+12/3+56
4-10+4+56
4-14+56
4-70
-66
-66 should be your answer if i’m not mistaken
