A20-a18=a1+19d-a1-17d=2d =281-97
so
d=92
Answer:
A.) x-y=2 and x+2y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
For option A, we have:
x-y=2
x+2y=-2
Subtract the first equation from the second, to get:
2y--y=-2-2
This implies that:
2y+y=-2-2
Simplify to get:
3y=-4
Divide both sides by 3 to get:

We substitute y=-1.3 into the first equation to get:
x--1.3=2
x+1.3=2
x=2-1.3
x=0.7
The solution is (0.7,-1.3), which is approximately (0.7, -1.4)
By inspection, all the other factors have solutions not close to (0.7, -1.4)
(n+20)*2 = 99.2
distribute
2n + 40 = 99.2
subtract 40 from each side
2n = 59.2
divide each side by 2
n = 29.6
Answer:
Assuming they bought the same shoes, $82.5
Step-by-step explanation:
80% of Original Shoe price = $82
Divide by 0.8 to find the original price.
82 / 0.8 = 102.5
102.5-20=82.5
