Answer:
<h2>
x = -3, y = -7</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + 7y = -34 ⇒ -5x = -34 - 7y
-5x + 3y = -6
-34 - 7y + 3y = -6
-34 - 4y = -6 {add 34 to both sides}
-4y = 28 {divide both sides by (-4)}
y = - 7
-5x + 3y = -6
-5x + 3(-7) = -6
-5x - 21 = -6 {add 21 to both sides}
-5x = 15 {divide both sides by (-5)}
x = -3
Answer:
The original price is $650
Step-by-step explanation:
There's an actual algebra method for this, but this is my method because I find it way easier to remember.
Since the most you can discount out of an item is 100% (well, it's considered free then) let's subtract 100 - 34, which is 66.
Now, turn it into a decimal because it makes the numbers easier- 0.66.
Since when you're finding the discount of an original price, you multiply the original price by the discount- instead for finding the original price for a discounted item we divide $429 by 0.66 instead, since when you divide a number by another number that's under 1 the quotient is a larger number.
So, 429 ÷ 0.66 = 650.
Therefore, the original price of the $429 sale price for a 34% discount is $650.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So in our case, let assume 'x' as a common factor.
Thus,
4x + 5x + 7x = 5600;
16x = 5600;
x = 5600/16 = 350.
So,
4x= 350*4 =1400;
5x= 350*5 = 1750; &
7x= 350*7 = 2450.
Your answer is, 5600 = 1400+1750+2450 which is in ratio of 4:5:7.
Answer:
16 petunias
Step-by-step explanation:
28/7 = x/4
7x=28*4
7x= 112
x=112/7
x=16
