Answer:

x = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x - 12y = -8  

5x + 2y = 48

you can combine all like terms from both equations together:

0x-10y=40

simplified:

-10y=40

y=-4

now you plug in the value of y into either equation:

5x+2(-4)=48

simplify

5x-8=48

add 8

5x=56

divide by 5

x=56/5=11.2

Calculate the VAT amount that is included in the R93,57 monthly flat rate for the UNMETERED residential area
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer: R12.20

Step-by-step explanation:

VAT in South Africa is 15% so if the flat rate is R93.57, the VAT amount can be found by finding the pre-tax flat rate:

93.57 = x + 0.15x

1.15x = 93.57

x = 93.57/1.15

x = R81.37

VAT is 15% of R81.37:

= 15% * 81.37

= R12.20
