Answer:

Man has total $8000 money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money he had be x

Now, as he spent \frac{15}{16} of his money in buying a car

and, it is also given that price of car is $7500

So, we can write it as,

\frac{15}{16} \times x = 7500

⇒x= \frac{7500 \times16}{15}

⇒ x=\frac{120000}{15}\\

⇒ x = 8000

Hence, before buying car he has $8000.

14.       1.5, 10    <- Answer
15.       5,1          <- Answer

Proof 14 

Solve the following system:
{2 x - y = -7 | (equation 1)
4 x - y = -4 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{4 x - y = -4 | (equation 1)
2 x - y = -7 | (equation 2)
Subtract 1/2 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{4 x - y = -4 | (equation 1)
0 x - y/2 = -5 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by -2:
{4 x - y = -4 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 10 | (equation 2)
Add equation 2 to equation 1:
{4 x+0 y = 6 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 10 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 4:
{x+0 y = 3/2 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 10 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = 1.5               
                y = 10

Proof 15. 

Solve the following system:
{5 x + 7 y = 32 | (equation 1)
8 x + 6 y = 46 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{8 x + 6 y = 46 | (equation 1)
5 x + 7 y = 32 | (equation 2)
Subtract 5/8 × (equation 1) from equation 2:{8 x + 6 y = 46 | (equation 1)
0 x+(13 y)/4 = 13/4 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 2:
{4 x + 3 y = 23 | (equation 1)
0 x+(13 y)/4 = 13/4 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 4/13:
{4 x + 3 y = 23 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 3 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{4 x+0 y = 20 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 4:
{x+0 y = 5 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer:  {x = 5                           y = 1
