X=area of the country A
y=area of the country B
we saggest this system of equations:
x+y=178,973
x=y+373
we solve this system of equations by substitution method.
(y+373)+y=178,973
2y=178,973-373
2y=178600
y=178,600/2=89,300

x=y+373
x=89300+373=89,673

answer:
area of the country A=89,673 Km²
area of the country B=89,300 Km²

To check
The combined land area of the countries A and B is =89,673 Km²+89,300 Km²=178,973 Km²
Country A (89,673 Km²) is 373 Km² more larger than country B (89,300 Km²).
89,673 Km²=89,300 Km²+373 Km²

John Doe estimates that the price elasticity of demand for new SUVs to be 0.75. If the price of SUVs rose by 15%; would the quan
Charra [1.4K]
If the coefficient of demand for the SUV is 0.75 this means that it has a relatively inelastic demand since it is less than. In other words, there is only a little alteration in demand when prices change.
So when the price of SUV rise by 15%, and it has a coefficient of 0.75, we can anticipate only 11.25% decrease in its demand. This is for the reason that the SUVs do not have many substitutes for it.
So to solve:
(x/15%) = 0.75
Then simply solve for x:
 x = (0.75)(0.15) = 11.25%
