Answer:

$18.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Kate had a sum of money,she spent 1/8 of the money on a skirt and the remaining amount on a handbag

let the total money be x

so  mathematically

x-1/8*x= 16

solve for x

x-x/8= 16

8x-x/8= 16

7x/8=16

cross multiply

7x= 8*16

7x=128

divide both sides by 7

x=128/7

x=$18.28

Answer:

(3,-4) or x=3 and y= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to solve this by substitution

We first need to get a variable by itself in one of the two equations (it doesn't matter which variable and the equation you do the work on doesn't matter either)

I'm going to solve for y in the second equation

-4x-4y=4

add 4y and subtract 4 from both sides to get

-4x-4=4y

Divide by 4 to get

-x-1=y

We can plug this value in for y into the first equation and get

4x+5(-x-1)= -8

Solve for x

4x-5x-5= -8

-x-5= -8

-x= -3

x=3

We can plug this value into one of the first two equations and solve for y

4(3)+5y= -8

12+5y= -8

5y= -20

y= -4

Therefore the solution is (3,-4) or x=3 and y= -4
