You can reword the two equations as:
-5x-y=15 (Divide original value by 3)
-2x+6y=6
Then use elimination to find x:
-30x-6y=90 (Multiply by 6 to get y values to be same to cancel out)
-2x+6y=6
You're left with:
-32x=96. Which can then be solved to find x which is -3.
Then plug back in
-2x+6y=6
Now to: -2(-3)+6y=6.
Which reduces to 6+6y=6. So y=0.
To graph them, just reword the equations (yes once again) so that y is in front.
y=-5x-15 and y=(1/3)x+1
Firstly, we need to find the price of the blanket/bracelet after the 115% increase.
$10 x 1.15 = $15.20
Now for the 5.5% sales tax, which is applied the the new value of $15.20
$15.20 x 0.055 = 0.83
$15.20 + $0.83 = $16.03
The final cost for the blanket/bracelet is %16.03
Answer: 2 1/2
Step-by-step explanation: Divide using long division. The whole number portion will be the number of times the denominator of the original fraction divides evenly into the numerator of the original fraction, and the fraction portion of the mixed number will be the remainder of the original fraction division over the denominator of the original fraction.
