Answer: You can multiply the top equation by -1 to eliminate the x variable.

And the solution is (2,4/3)  in case you need it.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 8

2x + 6y = 12

If you multiply the upper equation or down equation by one, you will be able to eliminate the x variable.

-1( 2x + 3y) = -1(8)     New equation:   -2x -3y  = -8.

Add the new equation you got  by multiplying the top equation by -1 to the bottom equation.

Add them:     -2x -3y = -8

                      2x + 6y = 12  

                               3y = 4  

                              y = 4/3

You can now input the value for y into the one of the equations and solve for x.

-2x - 3(4/3) = -8

-2x -4 = -8  

     +4     +4

-2x = -4

x = 2

Howie wants to get a car loan with 4% simple interest rate. If the car costs $25,000, how much would Howie need to pay back at t
likoan [24]

The amount Howie will pay back at the end of one year is $26000.00

The given parameters are:

P =25000 -- the principal amount

R = 4\% -- the interest rate

T=1 --- the duration

The amount to pay back in this duration is then calculated using:

A = P(1 + RT)

So, we have:

A = 25000(1 + 4\% \times 1)

A = 25000(1 + 4\% )

Express percentage as decimal

A = 25000(1 + 0.04)

A = 25000(1 .04)\\

Multiply

A = 26000

Hence, the amount to pay back is $26000.00

Whats answere y+2=-3 (x - 4)​
faust18 [17]

Answer:

 Slope = 6.000/2.000 = 3.000

 x-intercept = 10/3 = 3.33333

 y-intercept = -10/1 = -10.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -10.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -4.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -4.000 - (-10.000) = 6.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

How do you find the percent of a whole number?
Ostrovityanka [42]
A percentage figure shows that the quantity of parts per one hundred a segment sum compares to. For instance, "85 percent" is another method for saying "85 sections for each 100." To calculate a percentage, the entire sum must be known,  in addition to the percentage or portion amount.
