Answer:
Before Tax: $240
After Tax: $259.20
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are trying to find the original price then here:
216/1.08 = 200
This took away the tax now we need to take away the discount:
200 x 1.2 = 240
Before Tax: $240
After Tax: $259.20
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
I would love to use substitution (It is simplier that way I guess)
solve your system of equations.
x+2y=−1;x−y=5
Solve x+2y=−1 for x:
x+2y+−2y=−1+−2y(Add -2y to both sides)
x=−2y−1
Substitute (−2y−1) for x in x−y=5:
x−y=5
−2y−1−y=5
−3y−1=5(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−3y−1+1=5+1(Add 1 to both sides)
−3y=6
−3y/−3 = 6/−3(Divide both sides by -3)
y=−2
Substitute (−2) for y in x=−2y−1:
x=−2y−1
x=(−2)(−2)−1
x=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)
So the answer is (x = 3 and y = -2)
