Answer:

less

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase of 20% makes the price 120% of the original price.

A discount of 20% makes the discounted price 80% of the previous price.

Original price: x

20% increase in price: 1.2 * x

20% discount over the raised price: 0.8 * 1.2 * x

Now we multiply the numbers in the last expression and compare the result with x.

0.8 * 1.2 * x = 0.96x

0.96 is less than x, so the customer pays less than the original price.

Using elimination, the equations 3x - 4y = 12 and x + 4y = 20 can be solved to show that x = 8 and y = 3. Is this true or false
OlgaM077 [116]
3x - 4y = 12 ----- (1)
x + 4y = 20 ------ (2)

equation (2) x 3: 
3x + 12y = 60 ---(2a)

(2a) - (1):
12y - (-4y) = 60 - 12
12y +  4y = 48
16y = 48
y = 3 ---- sub into equation (2)

x + 4(3) = 20
x + 12 = 20
x = 8

Ans: x = 8 and y = 3 (True)

This one is pretty easy. 

x+ 4 = 7
Subtract 4 from both sides so you can isolate the x (Get the x alone) 
x = 7 -4
x = 3
That's your answer. 3.
