Answer:

y = 1, x = - 8

(-8, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 4y = 12

x + y = -7

add the equations together

0x + 5y = 5

5y = 5

y = 1

substitute y for 1 in one of the original equations to find x

x + y = -7

x + 1 = -7

x + 1 - 1 = - 7 - 1

x = - 7 - 1

x = -8

A coat cost $ 131.61 with 9.5% sales tax

marysya [2.9K]

Calculating Total Cost. Multiply the cost of an item or service by the sales tax in order to find out the total cost. The equation looks like this: Item or service cost x sales tax (in decimal form) = total sales tax. Add the total sales tax to the Item or service cost to get your total cost. Multiply retail price by tax rate

Let's say you're buying a $100 item with a sales tax of 5%. Your math would be simply: [cost of the item] x [percentage as a decimal] = [sales tax]. That's $100 x .

An investor has an account with stock from two different companies. Last year, his stock in Company A was worth $1790 and his st

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

20.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of stock increased in Company A = 20% of 1790

= 0.20 * 1790 = $ 358

Investor's stock in company A this year = 1790 + 358 = $ 2148

Amount of stock increased in Company B = 22% of 1000

= 0.22 * 1000= $ 220

Investor's stock in company B this year = 1000 + 220 = $ 1220

Total amount in investor's stock account = 2148 + 1220 = $ 3368

Increased amount = 3368 - 2790 = $ 578

Increase percentage = $\frac{578}{2790}*100$ = 20.71

= 20.7%

If U = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ,6 , 7 , 8 , 9 }. A={1 , 2 , 3 , 4 } , B= {2 , 4 , 6 , 8 } .Find

Zina [86]

Answer:

(A - B)' = {2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

(A n B) = {2, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the set :

U = { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ,6 , 7 , 8 , 9 }

A={1 , 2 , 3 , 4 } , B= {2 , 4 , 6 , 8 }

(A - B) = elements of A which are not in B

(A - B) = {1, 3}

(A - B)' = the complement of A - B ; element in the universal set which are not in A - B

(A - B)' = {2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

(A n B) = elements in both set A and set B

(A n B) = {2, 4}
