Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
because both equations do not have matching numbers for the x or y variable, and both equations are positive you are going to have to multiply each equation by a number so that there will be at least one variable with the same number but with opposite signs.
it does not matter which variable you choose.
lets use y because 2 and 3 are smaller then 2 and 5.
so lets multiply the first equation by 2 in order to get y equal to 6.
2(2x)+2(3y)=(2)6
(do not forget to multiply what the equation is equal to also)
4x+6y=12
now for the second equation we need y to equal negative 6
-3(5x)+-3(2y)=-3(4)
-15x-6y=-12
now lets put the 2 new equations next to each other and see what we can cancel out
4x+6y=12
-15x-6y=-12
-11x=0
x=0
now plug 0 in for x and solve for y (it does not matter which of the 4 equations you choose to solve.
2(0)+3y=6
3y=6
y=2
so your answer is x=0, y=2
Question The price of a sofa is Sx. A man buys the sofa on hire purchase according to the following terms:
a downpayment of 25 % and the remaining to be paid in monthly instalments over 30 months at a
simple interest rate of 12 % per annum. Given that his monthly instalment is $52, find the value of x.
Hey!
Your answer is solved below/above idk wherever just see in the picture.
-1, 260
First , take a look at the signs of the numbers we're asked to multiply .
One of them is negative , and the other one is positive .
If we have a negative number times a positive number , the product is a positive number .
Multiply :
(-315) × 4
-1, 260 (Ans)
To find the GCF:
-- List the factors of the first number.
-- List the factors of the second number.
-- Make a short list of the factors that show up for BOTH numbers.
-- Find the biggest number on the short list.
Factors of the first number (99): <u>1</u>, 3, 9, <u>11</u>, 33, 99 .
Factors of the second number (121): <u>1</u>, <u>11</u>, 121 .
Short list (factors that show up for both numbers): 1, 11
Biggest number on the short list: <em>11</em>
