3x-4y-8=12

first combine like terms

3x-4y=12+8

then isolate on variable

3x=20+4y

now divide by three to find x

x=20/3+4/3 x=8

to find y plug in x to the original equation

3(8)-4y-8=12

24-4y=20

-4y=20-24

-4y=-4

y=1

Steve paid 10% tax on a purchase of $40. Select the dollar amount of the tax and the total dollar amount Steve paid.

marta [7]

Amount of purchase that Steve made = $40
Percentage of tax that Steve needs to pay = 10%
Then
Amount of tax that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (10/100) * 40
      = 1 * 4 dollars
      = 4 dollars
Then
The total amount including tax
that Steve needs to pay for the purchase = (40 + 4) dollars
   = 44 dollars
So the dollar amount of tax that Steve had to pay is $4 and the total amount that Steve had to pay was $44.

The y-intercept of the graph of a line is (-2). The line also passes through the point (5, 1).

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

y = 3/5 x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line, calculate the slope using two points. With the slope and one point, substitute them into the point slope form and simplify as needed.

Use the points (5,1) and (0, -2) since -2 is the y-intercept.

Slope = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{1--2}{5-0}=\frac{3}{5}$
