<span>Multiply one of the equations so that both equations share a common complementary coefficient.
In order to solve using the elimination method, you need to have a matching coefficient that will cancel out a variable when you add the equations together. For the 2 equations given, you have a huge number of choices. I'll just mention a few of them.
You can multiply the 1st equation by -2/5 to allow cancelling the a term.
You can multiply the 1st equation by 5/3 to allow cancelling the b term.
You can multiply the 2nd equation by -2.5 to allow cancelling the a term.
You can multiply the 2nd equation by 3/5 to allow cancelling the b term.
You can even multiply both equations.
For instance, multiply the 1st equation by 5 and the second by 3. And in fact, let's do that.
5a + 3b = –9
2a – 5b = –16
5*(5a + 3b = -9) = 25a + 15b = -45
3*(2a - 5b = -16) = 6a - 15b = -48
Then add the equations
25a + 15b = -45
6a - 15b = -48
=
31a = -93
a = -3
And then plug in the discovered value of a into one of the original equations and solve for b.</span>

Step-by-step explanation:
The discounted amount of pair of pants is $37.4
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, A pair of pants regularly costs $68.
The pants are on sale for 45% of the original price.
We have to find that how much will the discount be?
Now, <em>discounted amount = original price – sold price
</em>
Discounted amount = original price – 45% of original price
Discounted amount = $68 – 45% of $68
Hence, the discounted amount is $37.4

40 hours at 10.10 per hour = 404
10.10 x 1.5 = 15.15 overtime pay per hour
15.15 x 8 = 121.20
404 + 121.20 = $525.20 total
