28.80 + .20X = X

.20X = X - 28.80

1/5 = .20

X/5 = X -28.80

X = 5X - 144

Set the new X equal to the original X

28.80 + .20X = 5X - 144

172.8 + .20X = 5X

172.8 = 4.8X

36 = X

36$ is the original price

To check,

28.80 + (.20 x 36) = 36

28.80 + 7.2 = 36

36 = 36

In which of the following ways are linear systems similar to quadratic systems? Select all that apply.
alex41 [277]

The <em>correct answers</em> are:


A) Both can be solved by graphing;

C) Both can be solved by substitution; and

D) Both have solutions at the points of intersection.


Explanation:


Just as a system of linear equations can be solved by graphing, a system of quadratic equations can as well. We graph both equations. We then look for the intersection points of the graphs; these intersection points will be the solutions to the system.


We can also solve the system by substitution. If we can get one variable isolated, we can substitute this into the other equation to solve.
