1) Solve one of the equations for either variable.
2) Substitute the expression from Step 1 into the other equation.
3) Solve the resulting equation.
4) Substitute the solution in Step 3 into one of the original equations to find the other variable.
5) Write the solution as an ordered pair.

Answer:
{-3/2, 4}
Step-by-step explanation:
Use synthetic division here. If the remainder is 0, then the divisor is a root or solution.
Here we have x = -4. Perform the synthetic division as follows:
-4 4 -10 -24
-16 108
------------------------------
4 -26 84 The remainder is 84, which tells us -4 is NOT
a root/solution.
Try -3/2 as divisor this time:
-3/2 4 -10 -24
-6 24
------------------------------
4 -16 0 Remainder is 0, so -3/2 is a solution
Show in the same manner that 4 is a solution also. Or determine whether x - 4 satisfies 4x - 16 = 0 (it does).
He would need to pay $44 for the purchase because
10% x $40 = $4
$40 + $4 = $44
