Answer:

3x−4y=9 −3x+2y=9

Add these equations to eliminate x: −2y=18

Then solve−2y=18

for y: −2y=18 −2y −2 = 18 −2 (Divide both sides by -2)

y=−9

Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.

Write down an original equation: 3x−4y=9

Substitute−9for y in 3x−4y=9: 3x−(4)(−9)=9

3x+36=9(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3x+36+−36=9+−36(Add -36 to both sides)

3x=−27 3x 3 = −27 3 (Divide both sides by 3) x=−9

Answer: x=−9 and y=−9

You buy books for 64 cents each, you plan to sell them for 75 cents each. You're left with 100 unsold books, and you lost $12. H
PSYCHO15rus [73]

The number of books sold is 473.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  • The original cost of each book = $0.64
  • The selling price of each book = $0.75

The difference between the original price and selling price of the book gives the profit per book.

The profit of one book = Selling price - Original price

Let,

  • The total number of books be 'x'.
  • The number of books sold be 'y'.
  • The unsold books is 100.
  • The total profit is -12 because it was gone to a loss of $12.

Therefore, the equation is formed as

total Profit = 0.75y - 0.64x

⇒ 0.75y - 0.64x = -12 --------(1)

Total books = sold books + unsold books

x = y + 100

⇒ x-y = 100  -------(2)

Substitute x= 100+y in the eq(1),

0.75y - 0.64(100+y) = -12

0.75y - 64 -0.64y = -12

0.11y = -12 +64

y = 52 / 0.11

y = 472.7

y ≅ 473

The number of book sold is 473 books.

The total number of books is (100+473) = 573 books.
