The solution of the set of equation is
x=6.217
y=0.132
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
given the set of equations
0.7x-y=4.22(1)
5-0.8x=0.2y
-0.8x-0.2y=-5 (2)
multiply (1) and(2) by 10
7x-10y=42.2(3)
-8x-2y=-50(4)
solve (3) and (4) using elimination method
⇒-40x-10y=-250(5)
(5)-(3)
-47x=-292.2
x=6.217
substituting value of x in 3
we get y=0.132
Pick any value in the y column of the table. I'm going to pick 81. Divide the value you picked by the previous y value, which in my case would be 9
Dividing the values gives: 81/9 = 9
So the base is 9. We multiply each y value by 9 to get the next y value
Eg: to go from 1/81 to 1/9, we multiply by 9. Same for 1/9 to 1, and so on.
Answer: Choice B) 9
Note: This trick only works because x is increasing by 1 each time
6x=120-5y -> x=20-5/6*y -> 7(20-5/6*y) + 11y =202 -> 140-35/6*y + 11y = 202 -> 140+31/6*y=202 -> 31/6*y = 62 -> y = 12.
Answer;
-Progressive tax
Explanation;
-According to this type of tax system, the taxes assessed are based on the taxable amount, and follow an increasing schedule. High-income earners pay more than low-income earners, and the tax rate, along with tax liability, increases as an individual or entity's wealth increases.
-Therefore; higher earners pay a higher percentage of taxes and more money in taxes than do lower-income earners
.
That would be B) 25% off. Hope this helps!
