In order to use the elimination method<span>, you have to create variables that have the same coefficient—then you </span>can eliminate<span> them. Multiply the top </span>equation<span> by 5. Next add the </span>equations<span>, and </span>solve<span> for y. Substitute y = 10 into one of the original </span>equations<span> to find x.</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Total height lowered = 75m
No of times balloon lowered = 5
Height lowered in each lowering = Total height lowered / No of times balloon lowered

Answer: $2370</h3>
=======================================================
Work Shown:
x = price before the discount
30% of x = 0.30x = amount saved
x - 0.30x = 0.70x = price after discount = 1659
0.70x = 1659
x = 1659/(0.70)
x = 2370
