The original price is $4.50 because when you multiply it by 50% you get $2.25
Answer: 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Use slope formula of y2-y1/x2-x1. So here it doesn’t matter which is which so I did (6,5) x1 and y1 and (0,0) x2 and y2
So plugging it in it would be 0-5/0-6 = -5/-6 which simplifies to 5/6
Yes you have a good example.
x = number of cookies
2*x = total amount spent on cookies at $2 each
2x-3 = amount you pay after the $3 discount is applied one time for the entire order
-------------
a more numeric example may be this
Lets say you bought 12 cookies, so x = 12
This means it costs 2*x = 2*12 = 24 dollars total if the discount doesnt apply
However, the 3 dollar discount is there, so the grand total is 24-3 = 21 dollars.
Answer:
y= -3y - 1/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(x + 3y) = 18 Distribute the -2 to the x + 3y
-2x - 6y = 18
+2x +2x Add the 2x to both sides
-6y = 18 + 2x Divide both sides by -6
y= -3y - 1/3x
