Use elimination
Multiply first equation by 4
12a - 8b = 56
12a + 9b = 39
Subtract both
-17b = 17
b = -1
Plug in -1 for b
3a - 2(-1) = 14
3a = 12, a = 4
Final answer: a = 4, b = -1
900 x 8= 7200 is your answer
Answer:
x = -1,-5
Step-by-step explanation:
X^2 + 3x + 5 = -3x
x^2 + 6x + 5 = 0
(x + 5)(x + 1) = 0
x = -1,-5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 25% of 16 =
Selling price after reduction = 16 - 2 = $14
B= 25% of 14
= 3.5
Selling price = 14 - 3.5 = $10.5
C = 25% of 10.5
= 2.625 = $ 2.63
Selling price = 10.5 - 2.63 = $ 7.87
Answer:
Cost =$3
Amount = 8 gallons and 17 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
24 + 51
Required
Simplify to show the cost and amount of gas bought by each individual
24 + 51
[Factorize]
3(8 + 17)
The above can't be factored any further.
Since the cost of gas for both individuals is the same, we can conclude the following.
Cost = $3
This is so because it applies to both numbers in brackets
Amount of Gas = 8 gallons and 17 gallons respectively by both individuals
