Just substitue 
for 
in the expression.
882 is a multiple of 6. if you multiply 6 by 147, you get 882.
Answer:
$10,880
Step-by-step explanation:
15% = 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15
So 15% of 12800 = 0.15 x 12800 = 1920
Therefore, 12800 - 1920 = 10880
OR
12800 x (1 - 0.15) = 10880
Answer:
x = -45, y = -40
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the first clue, we find out that
x + 5 = y
5x = 6y + 15
We can re-write the first equation to x = y - 5.
Therefore, the second equation can also be written as 5(y - 5) = 6y + 15
This can be simplified to 5y - 25 = 6y + 15
We can subtract 6y from each side, and add 25 to each side;
5y - 6y = 15 + 25
Therefore, -y = 40
Therefore y = -40.
Now let's plug this back into the original equation, to get : x + 5 = -40
x=-45
