Answer: 5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of times that he saved $75 be x.

Let the number of times that he saved $150 be y.

Therefore, based on the information given in the question, we can form an equation which will be:

x + y = 8 ...... i

75x + 150y = 825 ....... ii

From equation I,

x + y = 8

y = 8 - x....... iiii

Put equation iii into ii and this will be:

75x + 150y = 825

75x + 150(8 - x) = 825

75x + 1200 - 150x = 825

75x - 150x = 825 - 1200

-75x = -375

x = 375/75

x = 5

He saved $75 5times from his paycheck.

Solve the following system of equations. {y=−2x−92x+3y=−3 Write your answer as an ordered pair in the form (x,y).
Over [174]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (-6, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Maybe you want to solve ...

  • y = -2x -9
  • 2x +3y = -3

Use the first equation to substitute for y in the second:

  2x +3(-2x -9) = -3

  2x -6x -27 = -3

  -4x = 24 . . . . . . . . . add 27, simplify

  x = -6 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -4

  y = -2(-6) -9 = 12 -9 = 3

The solution is (x, y) = (-6, 3).

Solve for x <br> (19x-18) <br> (7x+1) <br> (10x-9)
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Exterior angle property: Exterior angles equals the sum of remote angles

19x - 18 = 7x + 1 + 10x - 9

19x - 18 = <u>7x + 10x</u> + <u>1 - 9 </u>    {Combine like terms}

19x - 18 = 17x - 8          {Subtract 17x from both sides}

19x - 17x - 18 = -8

        2x - 18 = -8         {Add 18 to both sides}

              2x = -8 + 18

             2x = 10

              x = 10/2

x = 5
