Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: p - 0.2p
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Original Price of tennis racket = p
Mark down or discount on original price = 20% of original price = (20/100) × p = 0.2p
Amount after discount = Amount paid by Natasha
Amount after discount = Original price - Discount
Amount after discount = p - 0.2p
Amount paid by Natasha = p - 0.2p
To do this problem you would first need to factor out a variable, which in this case I would want to do the first equation because it is isolated. Now the equations would look like this:
x = -2y - 1
4x - 4y = 20
Since we know that x is now equal to -2y - 1 we can plug it in to the x value in the second equation:
4 (-2y -1) - 4y = 20
-8y -4 - 4y
-12y - 4 = 20
-12y = 24
y = -2
Now that we know the y value plug the y value to one equation to find the x, I will be using the first equation
x + 2(-2) = -1
x - 4 = -1
x = 3
Solutions:
y = -2
x = 3
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
x-3=4x-9
x=4x-6
-3x=-6
x=2
