Answer:
a = 0.4 and b=1.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Both expressions are simply divided
(2x + 8y = 60) ÷ (ax + by = 12)
60÷12 = 5, Hence coefficient of x and y in the bigger equation is divided by 5 to find a and b
2/5 = 0.4 = a
8/5= 1.6 = b
Answer:
(4, 10)

- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
-5y + 8x = -18
5y + 2x = 58
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Elimination</em>
- Combine 2 equations: 10x = 40
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 10 on both sides: x = 4
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em> [Original equation]: -5y + 8(4) = -18
- Multiply: -5y + 32 = -18
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 32 on both sides: -5y = -50
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide -5 on both sides: y = 10
Let x equal the number of books bought.
45 = 3x - 6
(This is the answer because $45 is the total price, each book is $3, and $6 is discounted from the actual price.)
A is the answer because ur just multiplying them all together like there was no parenthesis.
Answer:
$68.44 will be the total bill.
Step-by-step explanation:
18/100 = .18
58 x .18 = 10.44
58 + 10.44 = 68.44
