Answer:

Either £16 or £26.32 depending on what you meant in the question

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to answer the question in 2 ways, since I'm not sure if you mean £14 or 14%

If its £14, then the original price is 30-14 = £16

If its 14% then that means after the increase, the shirt will be 100%+14% of the original price or 114% of the original price.

This means that

£30 = 114%

To make it easier, reduce the 114% to 1 %

1% = 30/114

1% = £0.26316

100% = £26.32 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Therefore the original price was £26.32

So the increased price is 30 and it was increased by 14
So the cost before was 30 - 14 = 16

What is the solution the the following system of equations:

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The solution is (-2, 5, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y - 4z = -1

2(-2) + 3(5) - 4(3) = -1

-4 + 15 - 12 = -1

-16 + 15 = -1

-1 = -1

x - 2y + 5z = 3

-2 - 2(5) + 5(3) = 3

-2 - 10 + 15 = 3

- 12 + 15 = 3

3 = 3

-4x + y + z = 16

-4(-2) + 5 + 3 = 16

8 + 5 + 3 = 16

16 = 16

Therefore, (-2, 5, 3) is a solution.

2x + 3y - 4z = -1

2(-3.6) + 3(0.2) - 4(1.4) = -1

-7.2 + 0.6 - 5.6 = -1

-12.8 + 0.6 = -1

-12.2 = -1

x - 2y + 5z = 3

-3.6 - 2(0.2) + 5(1.4) = 3

-3.6 -0.4 + 7 = 3

-4 + 7 = 3

3 = 3

-4x + y + z = 16

-4(-3.6) + 0.2 + 1.4 = 16

14.4 + 0.2 + 1.4 = 16

16 = 16

(-3.6, 0.2, 1.4) is not a solution.

2x + 3y - 4z = -1

2(2) + 3(5) - 4(-3) = -1

4 + 15 + 12 = -1

31 = -1

x - 2y + 5z = 3

2 - 2(5) + 5(-3) = 3

2 - 10 - 15 = 3

2 - 15 = 3

13 = 3

-4x + y + z = 16

-4(2) + 5 + -3 = 16

-8 + 5 - 3 = 16

-11 + 5 = 16

-6 = 16

(2, 5, -3) is not a solution.

2x + 3y - 4z = -1

2(4) + 3(-7) - 4(-3) = -1

8 - 21 + 12 = -1

-21 + 20 = -1

-1 = -1

x - 2y + 5z = 3

4 - 2(-7) + 5(-3) = 3

4 + 14 - 15 = 3

18 - 15 = 3

3 = 3

-4x + y + z = 16

-4(4) - 7 - 3 = 16

-16 - 7 - 3 = 16

-26 = 16

(4, -7, -3) is not a solution.

given the function f(x) = g(x-3)-2, describe transformation of f(x) on a coordinate plane relative to g(x).

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

f(x) is obtained by translate g(x) 3 units to the right and 2 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the transformation of a function

- If the function f(x) translated horizontally to the right

by h units, then the new function g(x) = f(x - h)

- If the function f(x) translated horizontally to the left

by h units, then the new function g(x) = f(x + h)

- If the function f(x) translated vertically up

by k units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) + k

- If the function f(x) translated vertically down

by k units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) – k

* Lets study the problem and solve it

∵ f(x) = g(x - 3) - 2

- x-coordinate change from x to x - 3, that means

# x-coordinate is translated 3 units to the right

- y-coordinate change from y to y - 2, that means

# y-coordinate is translated 2 units down

∴ The transformation is:

translated 3 units to the right and 2 units down

* f(x) is obtained by translate g(x) 3 units to the right and 2 units down
