4x - 3y = -11

-7x - 8y = 6

We need to cancel out one of the variables so let's multiply the first equation by 8 and the second by 3 and aim to cancel y.

32x - 24y = -88

-21x - 24y = 18

Now we subtract,

53x = -106

x = -2

3y = 4x + 11 = 4(-2) + 11 = 3

y = 1

Answer: (x,y)=(-2,1)

Check:

4(-2) -3(1) = -8 - 3 = -11, good

-7(-2) - 8(1) = 14 - 8 = 6, good

7. A shopkeeper buys 300 identical articles a tota
sashaice [31]

Step-by-step explanation and answers:

300 articles at a total cost of $1500:

        $1500 / 300 = $5 / article

Sells 260 articles at a price 20% above this ^ price:

         20% of $5 is $1,   so $5 + $1 = $6

               Then he sells 260 articles at the price of ^ $6

               260 * $6 = $1560

Each of the remaining articles is sold at a price that's 50% of the 260 he sold.

         He sold those for $6,  so he would now sell the last 40 for $3

               From the remaining 40 articles, he makes 40 * $3, or $120

The shopkeeper made $1560 + $120 = $1680,  which is $180 more than he bought them for ($1500)

Therefore, he made a profit percentage of $180 / $1500,  (the amount of profit over the amount spent).

He made a profit percentage, compared to the cost price, of 12%.

What is the value of y? PLEASE EXPLAIN<br> 8.5 = y/3 &lt;------ Fraction
NISA [10]

Answer:

y=25.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find y, you need to get it by itself. Ask yourself, what is being done to y, then to undo that, do the opposite. For example, if 3 was added to y, you would need to subtract 3 to cancel out the 3. In this case, what is being done to y? It's being divided by 3. So, you multiply by 3 to cancel that out. Whatever you do to one side of an equation, you also have to do to the other. So,

8.5=\frac{y}{3}   Multiply both sides by 3

3(8.5) = 3(\frac{y}{3})  multiply on the left side, and on the right side the 3s cancel out

25.5=y
