X=amount of money woman has
n=pounds of sugar 
Store #1: 8.5*n=x+30
Store #2: 8*n=x-25

multiply #2 by 17/16 to make coefficient of n same as in #1

2: 8.5*n=17/16(x-25)

Subtract #2 from #1

0=x+30-17/16(x-25)
x+30-17x/16 +25*17/16
x/16=30+25*17/16
x=480+425
=905 cents
=$9.05

Answer:

The total amount a member pays for an item with a regular price of x dollars is T (x) = 0.963<em>x</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Key points:

  • Discount is subtracted from the regular price of an item.
  • Sales tax is added to the regular price of an item.

It is provided that the customers receive a 10% discount if they are members and all customers must pay 7% in sales tax.

Two functions are provided are:

f (x) = 0.90<em>x </em>; the price of an item after the 10% member discount

g (x) = 1.07<em>x </em>; the total amount customers pay for a purchase after sales tax is applied.

Compute the total amount a member pays for an item with a regular price of x dollars as follows:

T (x) = Discount × Sales Tax

       = 0.90 × 1.07 × <em>x</em>

       = 0.963<em>x</em>.

Thus, the total amount a member pays for an item with a regular price of x dollars is T (x) = 0.963<em>x</em>.

x^2-18x+56=0

x(x-4)-14(x-4)=0

(X-4)(x-14)=0

x=4(extraneous) ,x=14

Without graphing, classify the following system as independent, dependent, or inconsistent.
AVprozaik [17]
Dependent. This system is consistent, because the first equation can be rearranged to y+3x=5, which is exactly the same as the second equation, so they don't contradict each other. However, their are infinite number of solutions to the equation y+3x=5, like x=1, y=2; or x=2, y=-1;... so the system is dependent.
