Answer:
5x - y = 10x + 3y = 4
5x - y = 4..... 1
10x + 3y = 4.....2
multiply by -2 in eq 1 in both sides
-10x + 2y = -8
10x +3y = 4
eliminate one variable by adding the equations
5y = -4
y = - 4/5
sub the value of y in..1
5x - y = 4
5x + 4/5 = 4
5x = 16/5
divide by 5 on both sides
x = 16/25
(x ; y)
(16/25 ; -4/5)
Answer: the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is $55.65
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial price of the jacket is $75.
Luke bought a jacket that was 30% off the cost. This means that the amount of discount on the Jacket is
30/100 × 75 = 0.3 × 75 = $22.5
The price of the jacket after the discount had been applied is
75 - 22.5 = $52.5
He paid sales tax of 6% after the discount had been applied. This means that the amount of sales tax that he paid on the jacket is
6/100 × 52.5 = 0.06 × 52.5 = 3.15
Therefore, the actual amount that Luke paid including tax is
52.5 + 3.15 = $55.65

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
p ----> the price of a watermelon in dollars
w ---> the weight of a watermelon in pounds
In this problem we have a proportional relationship
Remember that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form 
or 
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
In this problem
The value of the constant of proportionality k is the same that the unit rate
Find out the unit rate
Divide the total cost by the total weight
substitute in the equation
One less than twice a number is seventeen.
