Answer:

<em>Martin saved $75 on the television because of the sale</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

Let's call x=the original price of the television (before discount).

The television had been on sale for 25% off, this means the discount was:

25% of x = \frac{25}{100}.x = 0.25x

The sale price was the original price minus the discount:

x - 0.25x = 0.75x

This is what Martin paid, thus:

0.75x = 225

Dividing by 0.75:

x = 225 / 0.75

x = $300

The original price of the television was $300, and the discount was:

0.25*$300 = $75

Martin saved $75 on the television because of the sale

This is a System Of Equations and I'd like it to get solved by the Elimination or Substitution Method.x+2y=83x+5y=8
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

x=133 y=-25

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll do both ways for you. So let's start with Substitution:

With the sub method, you have to set both equations equal to each other by setting them equal to the same variable. Since there is no coefficient in front of both x's in both equations, that variable will be easiest to solve for.

x + 2y = 83    &    x + 5y = 8

Solve for x.

x = 83 - 2y     &    x = 8 - 5y

Once you have solved for x, set each equation equal to one another and solve for y now.

83 - 2y = 8 - 5y

Isolate all variables to one side:

83 = 8 - 3y

Now subtract the 8 to fully isolate the y variable:

75 = -3y

Divide by -3:

-25 = y   Now that you have your first variable, plug it into one of the original equations and solve for x.

x + 2(-25) = 83

x - 50 = 83

x = 133

Now for the Elimination method. For this method you need to get rid of a variable by either subtracting/adding each equation together. Again, since you can subtract and x from both equations, you will be left with only the y variable to solve:

Put each equation on top of one another and subtract:

  x + 2y = 83

- (x + 5y = 8)

The x's will cancel out:

(x - x) + (2y - 5y) = (83 - 8)

Simplify:

-3y = 75

Solve for y

y = -25

Then, plug y = -25 into one of the original equations:

x + 5(-25) = 8

Solve for x:

x - 125 = 8

x = 133

Hope this helps!

What is the solution of this linear system? x+y=13
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The solution of the linear equation is: (6,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

This being that:

x + y = 13

1/2x + y = 10

What you do in order to find the solution is either (2 ways):

- Substitution

- Elimination

I'm sure that either way, you'll get the same thing. I used: Substitution.

To do this choose either if you want to find [x] or [y] first, then substitute it in. I will choose to find [x] first.

<h2>x + y = 13</h2><h2><u>           - y </u>    </h2><h2>x = 13 - y</h2>

Now substitute it into:  

1/2x + y = 10

1/2(13 - y) + y = 10

1/2(13 -y) + y= 10

<h2>Then to get rid of fraction, instead of dividing, you multiply with reciprocal</h2><h2>1/2 · 2/1 (They cancel out) Leaving you with:</h2><h3 /><h3>(13 - y) 2(y) = 2(10)</h3><h3>(Everything is multiplied, except for 13 - y, because it had parenthesis to protect it.)</h3><h3>13 - y + 2y = 20</h3><h3 /><h2>13 + y = 20</h2><h2><u>- 13       - 13</u></h2><h2>           <u>y = 7</u></h2><h2 /><h2>You now have your [y] for your coordinate.</h2><h2>(x, 7), now time to find your [x]</h2><h2 />

Now you substitute your [y] into your equation:

1/2x + (7) = 10

<h2>1/2x + 7 = 10</h2><h2><u>          -7 = -7</u></h2><h2>1/2x = 3</h2><h2>(To get rid of fraction, multiply on both sides with reciprocal)</h2><h2>1/2 cancels out with 2/1</h2><h2>x = 2(3)</h2><h2>x = 6</h2><h2>You now have your [x] coordinate.</h2><h2 /><h2>This is your coordinate: </h2><h2>(6,7)</h2><h2></h2>
