Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming the equation looks like this: 15x - 6
15*4 - 6
60 - 6
54
OR if it's just x-6 then the answer is -2
Hope this is what you were asking, have a nice day! :)
The greatest common factor is 18
I'm assuming the 59% achievement means, markup, so hmmmm well, if the bananas cost him $0.24 or 24cents per pound, so a markup of 59% is just 59% of 0.24 then.
whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
therefore, 59% of 0.24 is just (59/100) * 0.24, or 0.1416.
so, if we add 0.1416 to the 0.24, the selling price will be 0.3816, or just 38cents per pound of bananas.
Pick 2 pairs of equations t<span>hen use addition and subtraction to eliminate </span>the same variable<span> from both pairs of equations then it is left with 2 variables
</span>Pick two pairs
<span><span>4x - 3y + z = - 10</span><span>2x + y + 3z = 0
</span></span>eliminate the same variable from each system
<span><span>4x - 3y + z = - 10</span>
<span>2x + y + 3z = 0</span>
<span>4x - 3y + z = - 10</span>
<span>-4x - 2y - 6z = 0</span>
<span>-5y - 5z = - 10</span>
<span>2x + y + 3z = 0</span>
<span>- x + 2y - 5z = 17</span>
<span>2x + y + 3z = 0</span>
<span>-2x + 4y - 10z = 34</span>
<span>5y - 7z = 34
</span></span>Solve the system of the two new equations:
<span><span>-5y - 5z = - 10</span>
<span>5y - 7z = 34</span>
<span>-12z = 24</span>
which is , <span>z = - 2</span>
<span>-5y - 5(- 2) = - 10</span>
<span>-5y = - 20</span>
wich is , <span>y = 4
</span></span>substitute into one of the original equations
<span>- x + 2y - 5z = 17</span>
<span>- x + 2(4) - 5(- 2) = 17</span>
<span>- x + 18 = 17</span>
<span>- x = - 1</span>
<span>x = 1</span>
<span>which is , </span><span>(x, y, z) = (1, 4, - 2)</span><span>
</span>Does 2(1) + 4 + 3(- 2) = 0<span> ? Yes</span><span>
</span>
