Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's eliminate x. To achieve this, mult. the 2nd equation by 2, obtaining
-8x + 2y = 10. Now add this result to the first equation:
8x-2y= -10
-8x + 2y = 10
---------------------
0
The two equations actually represent the same line. Without an x- or a y-value, we cannot solve for the value of the other variable. There are infinitely many solutions.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>If p is the original price, the markdown price is:</u>
- p - 20% =
- p - p(20/100) =
- p - 0.2p =
- 0.8p
<u>Now, another 20% off:</u>
- 0.8p - 20% =
- 0.8p - 0.8p(20/100) =
- 0.8(p - 0.2p) =
- 0.64p
<u>Answer choices:</u>
- A. 0.2(1p-0.2p)
- B. 0.6p
- C. (1p-0.2p)-0.2p
- D. 0.8p(1p-0.2p)
Correct one is D
