Answer:
- 18y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding the 2 equations term by term on both sides gives
(- 5x + 5x) + (- 9y - 9y) = (3 - 2), that is
0 + (- 18y) = 1
- 18y = 1
Answer:
0.875
Step-by-step explanation:
7/8 as a decimal is 0.875. Another was of thinking of this is the number '7' is 87.5 percent of the number '8.
Student P:
They messed up in step 1 because they made the 7.75 positive instead of negative, which causes the entire solution to be wrong
Student Q:
They were correct up until step 3. They didn't take all the negatives out of the equation (ex. -(3.5+7.75+29.67)).
Complete set:
From the picture, it looks like the original problem was
-2.5(1.4+3.1)+6.9(-4.3)
Step 1: multiply
1.4(-2.5)+3.1(-2.5)+6.9(-4.3)
Step 2: subtract (add?) them all together
-3.5-7.75-29.67
Step 3 should equal -40.92
Answer:
x = Rs 20,833.33
the value of x is Rs 20,833.33
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x,y and z represent the price of the item initially, after one month and after two months respectively.
Given that;
after one month its label price is reduced by 20%
y = x - 20% of x
y = x - 0.20x
y = 0.80x ........1
after 2 months its reduced price is further reduced by 10% and then sold it for Rs 15000.
z = y - 10% of y
z = y - 0.10y
z = 0.90y ........2
Substituting equation 1 into 2;
z = 0.90(0.80x)
z = 0.72x
Also z = Rs 15000
So,
z = 0.72x = Rs 15000
0.72x = Rs 15000
x = Rs 15000/0.72
x = Rs 20833.33333333
x = Rs 20,833.33
the value of x is Rs 20,833.33
