Answer:
(5, - 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x + 3y = - 2 → (1)
3x - y = 19 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
9x - 3y = 57 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
(2x + 9x) + (3y - 3y) = (- 2 + 57), that is
11x = 55 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
2(5) + 3y = - 2
10 + 3y = - 2 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
3y = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = - 4
Solution is (5, - 4 )
Answer:
infinite number of solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Work with the second equation. Subtract 8x from both sides.
- 4y + 8x - 8x = -8x - 12 Collect like terms.
-4y = - 8x - 12 Divide by - 4
-4y/-4 = - 8x/-4 - 12/-4
y = 2x + 3
That is exactly the same line as the first given. There is an infinite number of solutions.
Answer:
Without tax the shoes would cost £55.9.
Step-by-step explanation:
To get this you take the £86 and multiply it by 0.65 because with the 35% sale you are paying for 65% of the item. You get this number by subtracting 35 from 100 and convert it into a decimal.
