Answer:
The answer to your question is
x = -2 and y = 10 or x = 10 and y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 8 (1) from (1) x = 8 - y
xy = - 20 (2)
Solve them by substitution
(8 - y) y = - 20
8y - y² = -20
y² - 8y - 20 = 0
( y - 10) (y + 2) = 0
y - 10 = 0 and y + 2 = 0
<u> y1 = 10 </u> <u>y2 = -2</u>
x1 = 8 - 10 x2 = 8 - -2
<u>x1 = -2</u> <u> x2 = 10</u>
Answer:
x = negative 9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x-11=6x+7
-2x-11+11=6x+7+11
-2x=6x+18
-2x-6x=6x+18-6x
-8x=18
You start by cross multiplying:
9 x 8 = 72
This is considered the fraction on the left's value.
You do the same for the other side:
10 x 7 = 70
This is considered the value of the fraction 7/8
72 has a greater value than 70.
Therefore, 9/10 is larger.
State tax = 2% of $215 = 0.02 x $215 = $4.30
city tax = 1% of $215 = 0.01 x $215 = $2.15
retirement fund = 3% of $215 = 0.03 x $215 = $6.45
Total deductions = $15.16 + $29.33 + $4.30 + $2.15 + $6.45 = $57.39
Net income = $215 - $57.39 = $157.61
