2. 2
x = -2
2. 2(6 -2y) = -1(4y-9)
12 -4y = -4y + 9
+4y. +4y

.12 /=\ 9
No solution
3. 2z-6 = 2(z+2) + 10
2z -6 = 2z + 4 + 10
2z -6 = 2z +14
-2z. -2z
-6 /=\ 14
No solution.
Answer : 96
x – y = 16 --------> equation 1
1/8 x + 1/2 y = 52
x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade
We solve the first equation for y
x - y = 16
-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)
y = -16 + x
Now substitute y in second equation
1/8 x + 1/2 ( -16 + x ) = 52
1/8x - 8 + 1/2 x = 52
1/8x + 1/2x - 8 = 52
Take common denominator to combine fractions
1/8x + 4/8x -8 = 52
5/8x - 8 = 52
Add 8 on both sides
5/8x = 60
Multiply both sides by 8/5
x = 96
We know x is the higher grade
96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.
Answer:
the answer is 16
Step-by-step explanation:
The original gross margin is (2.50 / 1.00) - 1 = (2.5 - 1) = 1.5 = 150%
the cost increases 0.25, is an increase of (0.25 / 1.00) = 25%
in order to keep the same gross margin, you need to increase the sale price by 25%
2.50*1.25 = 3.125
Then the gross margin is (3.125 / 1.25) - 1 = (2.5 - 1) = 1.5 = 150% ( same as original )
