Multiply the first equation by 2
8x+6y=14
Multiply the second equation by 3
9x-6y=54
Add the resulting equations together to eliminate the y terms
17x= 68
x= 4
4(4)+3y=7
3y=-9
y=-3
(x,y) = (4,-3)
Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Subtract 36 to 28.80
2. Divide the answer to the first price (36.00)- 7.5 divided by 36.00 or 36
3. When you calculate and find the answer as a decimal, then make it into a percentage
So if... you divide 7.5 divided by 36, you get the decimal of 0.2, and when you move the decimals two places only, you get your answer of 20%.
Hopefully it helped you!. Have a good day :-).
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to rewrite the equation in the form y = mx +b:
2y = x-4
Divide all terms by 2:
2y / 2 = x/2 - 4/2
Simplify:
y = 1/2x - 2
The slope of the line is 1/2.
A perpendicular line has a slope of the negative reciprocal, which would be -2.
Now using the point slope method:
y - y1 = m(x-x1)
Using the given point of (8,-4) and m = -2
you get:
y +4 = -2(x-8)
Simplify:
y +4 = -2x +16
Now subtract 4 from both sides to get the final equation:
y = -2x +12
