Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
Write out the 2 equations:
2x + y = -3
-2y = 6+4x
-You then pick a variable that you want to solve for. I chose to solve for y because it would be a bit easier.
-2y = 6 + 4x
-Divide both sides by -2 to isolate the variable
(-2y) / -2 = (6 + 4x) / -2
-it comes out to y = -3 -2x
-Now that you have the y you can plug in the value into the second equation.
2x + y = -3 ---> 2x + (-3 -2x) = -3
This can be simplified to:
2x - 3 - 2x = -3
The 2x's cancel out because there is a +2x and a -2x. You are left with a
-3 = -3. If you add 3 to both sides of the equation you end up with 0 = 0, which can be simplified to just 0.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given equation, the "like terms" are the constants 5/8 and 44.
It simplifies the math if we eliminate the fractions first. Note that 0.75 = 6/8, so now we have:
8(6/8)s - 8(5/8) = 44).
Multiplying all three terms by 8 (above) yields
8(6s) - 8(5) = 8(44), or
48s = 8(44 + 5), or 48s = 8(49)
Dividing both sides by 48 yields s: s = 8(49/48)
Review "like terms:" These are terms that have at least one characteristic in common. 5/8 and 44 are like terms because they are only constants (no variables are present). We must add 5/8 and 44. 0.75s does not have a "like term" in the given equation.
Answer:
The original price of the shoes was $90.
Step-by-step explanation:
25% off means the price Joe paid for it is 75% of the original price.
Set up an equation:
75/100 = 67.50/x
Cross multiply
75 × x = 100 × 67.50
75x = 6750
x = 90
Check our work:
First solve for 25% off of 90 (our answer).
25% = 0.25
90 × 0.25 = 22.50
Next, subtract the discount from 90.
90 - 22.50 = 67.50
67.50 was what Joe paid so this is correct.
