Answer:
y = 7/2x -11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
7x-2y=11
Subtract 7x from each side
7x-2y -7x = -7x+11
-2y = -7x+11
Divide each side by -2
-2y/-2 = -7x/-2 +11/-2
y = 7/2x -11/2
X=7
after you remove parentheses you do those steps
... there is no math problem here
If your cost is $8.00 and you wish to markup that price by 40%, 80% + 40% = 120%. Divide the $8.00 cost by 120% and get the retail price of $15.00. Therefore, the markup amount is $7.00 ($15.00 - $8.00 = $7.00) and the selling price is $15.
