Hey You!
Tom:
22*7% = 1.54
His Cousin:
18*7% = 1.26
22 + 1.54 = 23.54
18 + 1.26 = 19.26
So, Tom pays $23.54 and His Cousin pays $19.26 and Tom payed more tax.
Answer:
whhhhhh
Step-by-step explanation:
it is number 2 because i took the test
You add two equations together to eliminate a variable. This particular problem is nice, because it's already setup to eliminate X.
3x - 4y = 9
<span>-3x + 2y = 9
</span>
When we add these two together, 3x - 3x cancels each other out, leaving us with 0x, or nothing.
We continue with -4y + 2y (leaves us with -2y) and 9+9 (18).
-2y = 18
18/-2 = -9.
Now we have y = -9, and we can go back into the problems to solve for x.
<span>3x - 4(-9) = 9
</span>
3x + 36 = 9.
3x = -27
x = -9.
Confirm with the final equation:
-3(-9) + 2(-9) = 9
27 - 18 = 9
9 = 9 --- Confirmed.
