Answer:

Let the original price be x

70% of x = 14

70x/100 = 14

70x/14 = 100

5x = 100

x = 100/5

x = 20

Therefore the original price = $20

Hope this helps!

Answer:

20$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 14 is 70% of the original price, the full price being 100%

We set up an equation to find 100%

14 = 70%      //So we divide by 7 on both sides to get 10%

2 = 10%        //Then times by 10 to get 100%

<u><em>20 = 100%</em></u>

As a general rule we always try to find 1%, 10%, 25%, or 50% of the original price, as these numbers are quite easy to multiply to 100%

Solve the system of equations for x and y.<br> y = x + 5<br> y = 2x + 2
DIA [1.3K]
Answer (x,y) (3, -2)

Explanation:
using the
substitution method
y
=
x
−
5
→
(
1
)
y
=
−
2
x
+
4
→
(
2
)
since both equations are expressed in terms of x we

can equate them
⇒
x
−
5
=

x
+
4
add 2x to both sides

⇒

x

=

add 5 from both sides

x

⇒

x
=
9
divide both sides by 3

⇒
x
=

substitute this value in

y
=

As a check
substitute these values into
