26% of $880
= 0.26 x 880
= $228.80

Answer: Rent = $228.80
------------------------------------------------------
According to your question, there are 2 unknown numbers mentioned.
Let the 2 unknown numbers be represented by the variables x & y, then
x is considered to be one of the numbers being more than y by the addition of 4, .ie.
x = 4 + y --- (1)
The sum of the 2 numbers is 60, i.e.
x + y = 60 --- (2)
To find the smaller number, we solve eqn (1) & (2) using the concept of substitution, i.e. substitute 4 + y for x in eqn (2), i.e.
4 + y + y = 60
4 + 2y = 60
2y = 60 - 4
2y = 56
y = 28 ...Ans.
Recall that x is more than y by 4, then 28 is the smaller number.
-7x - 2y = 19
4x + y = -12
Set y equal to each other (opposite signs are fine and you could also set x equal instead of y)
-7x - 2y = 19
8x + 2y = -76
Add equations together
x = -52
Plug x value into an equation
4(-52) + y = -12
Solve for y
-208 + y = -12
y = 196
Hope this helps! ;)
Answer:DC=7
Step-by-step explanation:
As it is written △ABC = △DBC. So the corresonding legs (the legs which are equal ) are as follows:
AC=DC AB=DB BC= BC
So DC=7 the same like AC
