Answer:
x = 3 and y = 2
or
(3,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
first equation (LCM = 3 x 4 x 5 = 60)
(x+2)/5 - (9-x)/3 = (y - 6)/4
12(x+2) - 20(9-x) = 15(y - 6)
12x + 24 - 180 + 20x = 15y - 90
32x - 15y = -90 - 24 + 180
32x - 15y = 66
second equation:
8(x + 2) - (2x + y) = 2(x + 13)
8x + 16 - 2x - y = 2x + 26
6x - y + 16 = 2x + 26
4x - y = 10
Now you have 2 equations:
4x - y = 10 ---> y = 4x - 10
32x - 15y = 66
Substitute y = 4x - 10 into 32x - 15y = 66
32x - 15(4x - 10) = 66
32x - 60x + 150 = 66
-28x = -84
x = 3
y = 4(3) - 10
y = 12 - 10
y = 2
Solutions: x = 3 and y = 2
1) Identity Property of addition
2) Commutative Property of Multiplication
3) Zero property of multiplication
4) Commutative property of addition

<u>Answer:</u>
Sale tax paid by Katrina is 0.44 units of currency and total amount paid is 5.94 unit of currency.
<u>
Solution:</u>
Given that Katrina goes to road runner after school and purchase following three products
A soda for 1.50
Chips for 3.50
Candy for 0.50
Also she pays 8% sales tax.
Need to determine amount paid in sales tax and total amount paid by Katrina.
lets first calculate amount she paid without taxes.
Total paid amount without taxes = 1.50 + 3.50 + 0.50 = 5.50
As she paid 8% sale tax , that is 8 % of 5.50
so sale tax paid = 
<em>Total amount paid = Total amount paid without taxes + tax paid
</em>
= 5.50 + 0.44 = 5.94
Hence sale tax paid by Katrina is 0.44 units of currency and total amount paid is 5.94 unit of currency.
