Let the cost of the hair dryer equal x.
The net cost plus a 40% markup equals 42, set up an equation and solve forex.
1.4x = 42
Divide both sides by 1.4
X = 42 / 1.4
X = 30
The net cost was £30
Answer:
2x+3y+5
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we remove the parenthesis since there is nothing in front of it.
There is a “+” sign in front of the parenthesis, it stays the same.
Secondly, we combine like terms. We combine the x’s, the y’s, and the normal numbers without a variable.
Finally, after combining the like terms. You end up with “2x+3y+5”.
Answer:
2 cows and 5 chickens.
Step-by-step explanation:
NOTE: This will be solved using simultaneous equations.
Let x = cows and y = chickens
1. form two equations
4x + 2y = 18 ... (1)
x + y = 7 .... (2)
2. make y (or x) the subject of one equation
x + y = 7
y = 7 - x ... (3)
3. Substitute (3) into (1)
4x + 2( 7 - x) = 18
4. solve for x
4x + 14 - 2x = 18
2x = 4
x = 2
5. Now substitute x value into equation (2)
x + y = 7
2 + y = 7
y = 5
∴ cows (x) = 2
chickens (y) = 5
