−3x + y = 4,<br><br> −9x + 5y = −1<br> find x and y

katrin [286]

Answer:

9x - 3y = -12

-9x +5y = -1

2y = -13

y = -13/2

-3x - 13/2 = 8/2

-3x = 21/2

-6x = 21

x = -21/6 = -7/2

(-7/2, -13/2)

a suit is being sold at a 20 % off (discount). The sale price is $ 270. What was the original price ?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The original price is 337.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If we get 20% off, we still have to pay 100-20 =80%

Let x be the original price

x *80% = 270

.80x = 270

Divide each side by .80

.80x/.80 = 270/.80

x =337.50

The original price is 337.50
