Let x represent the cost of book B
Book A: $17.50
Book B: x
Sales tax: (A + B) x 6% = .06(17.50 + x) = 1.05 + .06x
book A + book B + sales tax = total cost
(17.50) + (x) + (1.05 + .06x) = 44.52 <em>plugged in all of the values</em>
18.55 + 1.06x = 44.52 <em>added like terms</em>
1.06x = 25.97 <em>subtracted 18.55 from both sides</em>
x = 24.50 divided 1.06 from both sides
Answer: $24.50
Answer:
use -9 to multiply the first equation
use -4 to multiply the second equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-4y=28.....eqn (1)×-9
3x-9y=30....eqn(2)×-4
-45x+36y=-252
-(-12x+36y=-120)
therefore, -33x÷33 =-132÷-33
x=4.
substitute (x=4) in any of the equation. I'm just going to use eqn 1.
5x-4y=28
5(4)-4y=28
20-4y=28
-4y =28-20
-4y÷-4 = 8÷-4
y=-2
so, x=4, y=-2
Note: for proof of answers substitute the answers for x and y and see if you have the same result...e.g
5(4)-4(-2)=28.
Answer:
282/17
Step-by-step explanation:
6+3/34 =207/34
and 207/34+21/2=282/17
Answer and explanation:
1. 2 × 3/10 = 6/10 = 3/5
2. 8 × 4/8 = 32/8 = 4
3. 9 × 3/9 = 27/9 = 3
4. 12 × 2/11 = 24/11 = 2 2/11
5. 3 × 5/7 = 15/7 = 2 1/7
6. 2 × 3/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5
7. 11 × 4/8 = 44/8 = 5 4/8 = 5 1/2
8. 10 × 1/4 = 10/4 = 2 2/4 = 2 1/2
9. 5 × 1/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
10. 11 × 2/7 = 22/7 = 3 1/7
Hope this helps!
