A. 18.99 b 16.676 c 30.11 d 13.801 can't answer the rest right now I'm getting ready for school
One expression could be.... Nine times 4 plus five equals forty one. ALSO... Eight times eight equals sixty four then subtract twenty four equals forty one
The original price was $22.5.
18 divided by 0.8 is 22.5.
If you double check 22.5 times 0.8, you will get 18, your sales price.
Answer:
(x, y) = (4, 9)
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the second equation to write an expression for y.
y = 10 - 1/4x . . . . subtract 1/4x from the given 2nd equation
Now, substitute that for y in the first equation:
1/2x + 1/3(10 -1/4x) = 5
1/2x + 10/3 -1/12x = 5 . . . . eliminate parentheses
You can work this a couple of ways from here. One is to multiply by 12 to eliminate fractions. Another is to work with the numbers as they are. We'll do that, because we don't get enough practice doing arithmetic with fractions.
5/12x = 5/3 . . . . . subtract 10/3
x = (5/3)/(5/12) = 12/3 = 4
From above, we can use our expression for y:
y = 10 - 1/4·4 = 9
The solution is (x, y) = (4, 9).
