(a). 8x + y = 20, where (b). y = x2 - 2x + 4
So where y is in equation (a), substitute in the value of y in (b).
8x + (x2 - 2x + 4) = 20
8x + (4) = 20
Get rid of the 4 on both sides (since what you do to one side, you must do to the other)
8x + 4 - 4 = 20 - 4
8x = 16
Get rid of the 8 to leave x on its own
8x ÷ 8 = 16 ÷ 8
x = 2
So now that you have x, find y but substituting in the value you just found (2) into one of the starting equations.
8x + y = 20 where x is 2.
8(2) + y = 20
16 + y = 20
Minus 16 from both sides
y = 20 - 16 = 4
So x is 2 and y is 4
A + b = 61 a > b a = 2b + 4
2b + 4 + b = 61
3b + 4 = 61
3b = 57
b = 19

Answer:
2,000
Step-by-step explanation:
write out an equation that represents the problem. the original price X fell by 15% to a new price of 1700:
X - (X*15%) = 1700
X(1-0.15) =1700
X=1700/(1-0.15)
X=2,000
convert 15% to decimal form:
15%=0.15
Basically you do fractions side by side. so, 6/3=15/h and then cross multiply to get your answer so that would give you 3h=80, then divide 80÷3
