Answer:
Answer:
x= 29/11 or y= 25/11
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - y= 3 ...........equation 1
x + 5y= 14 ............equation 2
Make x the subject of the formula in equation 2
x= 14 - 5y ..............equation 3
Substitute x=14 - 5y in equation 1
2(14- 5y) - y=3
28 - 10y - y=3
Collect like terms
-10y - y=3 - 28
-11y= -25
divide both sides by coefficient of y
-11y/-11 = -25/-11
y= 25/11
Substitute y= 25/11 in equation 3
x=14 - 5(25/11)
x= 14 - 125/11
x= 29/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8x + 5 = 29
I think I'm right sorry if I'm not :p

Answer:
x=8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3(18x-12)=7-3(x-3)
2/3(18x-12)=7-3x+9
12x-8=-3x+16
12x-(-3x)-8=16
12x+3x-8=16
15x-8=16
15x=16+8
15x=24
x=24/15
simplify
x=8/5
A percentage is a number out of 100. So, 17.5% is really 17.5/100, or 0.175.
To find 17.5% of 1500, you multiply 1500 by 0.175
1500 x 0.175 = 262.5.
The commission is $262.50.
