Answer:

Cost of shrubs = 23

Cost of tree = 47

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Cost of shrubs = x

Cost of tree = y

13x + 4y = 487 (1)

6x + 2y = 232 (2)

Multiply (2) by 2

12x + 4y = 464 (3)

13x + 4y = 487 (1)

Subtract (3) from (1)

13x - 12x = 487 - 464

x = 23

Substitute x = 23 into (2)

6x + 2y = 232 (2)

6(23) + 2y = 232

138 + 2y = 232

2y = 232 - 138

2y = 94

y = 94/2

= 47

y = 47

What is the solution to X and Y in these equations 3x + 9y=60 and -3x + y=30
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

x= -7 y=9

Step-by-step explanation:

3x +9y= 60 [1]

-3x +y=30 [2] rewrite this as the following:  y=30+3x

With equation [2] you substitute it into equation [1]

so it will now be: 3x+ 9(30 +3x) =60

3x+270 +27x=60

Group the like terms

3x+27x=60-270

30x=-210

x=-7

Use this answer into the same equation

So: 3(-7)+9y=60

-21 +9y=60

9y=60+21

9y=81

y=9

The clownfish kay wanted to buy for $12 last week has been marked up 8%. What is the new price of the fish?
Crank
The markup is 8%, meaning it costs 8% more.
The starting price is 100%.
Therefore, the markup is 108% of $12.
If we multiply 12 by 108% (1.08), we will get our answer of $12.96
