An integer has to be either even or odd
Even numbers are numbers divisible by 2, while odd numbers are not
Let us represent the 2 even numbers like this
ax+1
bx+1
When you add the two numbers together, you get
2a + 1 + 2b + 1
This can be simplified using the inverse of distributive property
2(a+b) + 2
2(a+b+1)
This is the sum, which is divisible by 2
She is incorrect as 10% of the higher marked up price is larger than 10% of the original price.
For example: If you mark up $100 by 10% you get $110.
If you mark down $110 by 10%, you will get $99, as 10% of $110 ($11) is larger than 10% of $100 ($10).
Answer:
y = 9x
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set up linear equations like this: y = mx + b, where m is the slope or rate, and b is the y-intercept.
9 would be the slope, since he has to pay $9 per gift.
The y-intercept is when x = 0, but if he doesn't buy any gifts, he won't have to pay anything, so b = 0. You don't have to include it since it's 0.
So, it's just y = 9x
Hope that helps! :D
