Answer:

22%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of tax can be found by calculating the percent change.

new - old / old

6084 - 7800 / 7800

= -0.22 or -22%

This means the price decreased by 22%, meaning you paid 22% in taxes.

4. Solve the following system of equations for x.
Ber [7]

We are given the system of equations -:

\large{ \begin{cases} 2x + 3y =  - 14 \\ y = 6x + 22 \end{cases}}

Since the second equation is y-isolated equation. It can be substituted as y = 6x+22 in the first equation.

\large{2x + 3(6x + 22) =  - 14}

Expand 3 in the expression so we can combine like terms and isolate x-variable.

\large{2x + 18x + 66 =  - 14}

Then combine like terms.

\large{20x + 66 =  - 14}

Get rid of 66 from the left side by subtracting both sides by itself.

\large{20x + 66 - 66 =  - 14 - 66} \\  \large{20x =  - 80}

To finally isolate the variable, divide both sides by 20 so we can leave x only on the left side.

\large{ \frac{20x}{20}  =  \frac{ - 80}{20} }

Simplify to the simplest form.

\large{x =  - 4}

Normally, we have to find the y-value too but since we only find x-value. The answer is x = -4.

Answer

  • x = -4

I hope this helps! If you have any questions or doubts regarding my answer, explanation or system of equations, feel free to ask!

EMERGENCY (NEED HEP NOW!!!)

Answer:

x=-2.25,y=-2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

4x - y =  - 9 \\ 3x - 3y = 0

We want to solve the system for x and y that makes the system true.

Let us multiply the first equation by 3 while maintaining the second equation:

12x -3 y =  - 27 \\ 3x - 3y = 0

Subtract the current second equation from the first one.

12x =  - 27

Divide through by 12:

x =  -  \frac{27}{12}  =  - 2.25

From the second equation we have:

3x = 3y

This implies that:

x = y =  - 2.25
