2x + 5y = 34
x+2y = 14
Multiply the second equation by two to create like terms for one variable.
2(x+2y = 14)
2x + 4y = 28
2x + 5y = 34
2x + 4y = 28 -- Subtract.
y = 34.28 = 6
Solve for x
x + 2(6) = 14
x + 12 = 14
x = 2
Check:
2 + 2(6) = 14
2 + 12 = 14
14 = 14
Answer:
X = 2
Y = 6
Answer:
The price was reduced by about 53%
Step-by-step explanation:
Per cent of change = (amount of change) ÷ (original amount)
% change = (799.99 - 375.99)/799.99
= 424 / 799
= .5300
= 53 %
You just add up all of the x times by 457, since you combine like terms.
Answer:
20 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the height, we need the volume and the base area first. We are already given the volume so we need to find the base area.
A = 18 · 5 = 90
Now that we know the base area is 90 cm², we can substitute the information into the equation to solve for the height.
V = 1/3(A)(h)
600 = 1/3(90)(h) (Given)
600 = 30h (Simplified)
20 = h (Divided 30 on both sides)
Therefore, the height is 20 cm.
