Answer:

The cost to rent each chair and each table are $1.5 and $8.75 respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent 1 chair

Let y represent 1 table

Therefore

3x + 2y = 22   ------------(1)

5x + 6y = 60   ------------(2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 3

15x + 10y = 110   ----------(3)

15x + 18y = 180  ------------(4)

Subtract (3) from (4)

8y = 70

Divide through by 8

y = $8.75

Substitute y = 8.75 in (1)

3x + 2y = 22

3x + 2(8.75) = 22

3x + 17.5 = 22

Collect like terms

3x = 22 - 17.5

3x = 4.5

Divide through by 3

x =$1.5

What are the solutions of 3x2 - x + 4 =
o-na [289]

To do this, you must use the order of operations.

3·2=6

6+4=10

Now to solve (-)x.

Since -x comes in front of 4, you must make your equation:

-x+10

Nothing is written for x, so now, you have the answer.

The cost of a book was decreased from 60 to 50 by what percent the price decrased with solution​
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The price decreased by 16 1/3%, or approximately 16.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for percent change. If the answer is negative, it is a percent decrease. if the answer is positive, it is a percent increase.

percent change = (new price - old price)/(old price) * 100%

In this case, use:

new price = 50

old price = 60

percent change = (new price - old price)/(old price) * 100%

percent change = (50 - 60)/60 * 100%

percent change = -10/60 * 100%

percent change = -1/6 * 100%

percent change = -100/6% = -50/3% = -16 1/3%

The price decreased by 16 1/3%, or approximately 16.3%
