so the solution is 5 we'll start with that
x=5
to do reverse multiplcation, you must divide so
x=5
x/10=5/10
x/10=1/2
then the other problem
x=5
5x=25
to solvve
x/10=1/2
multiply by 10
x=5
then
5x=25
divide both sides by 5
x=5
Answer:
$5.61
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
At a dinner, the meal cost $22 and a sales tax of $1.87 was added to the bill.
so
using a proportion

Answer:
(
, 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = 9x → (1)
6x - y = - 1 → (2)
Substitute y = 9x into (2)
6x - 9x = - 1, that is
- 3x = - 1 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 
Substitute x =
into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = 9 ×
= 3
Solution is (
, 3 )
