£1400
A reduction of 40% means that £840 is 60% of the original price
Divide £840 by 60 to find 1% then multiply by 100 to find original price
original price = £840 × 
= £1400
Answer:
Carlos is 35 years old now
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that Carlos is x years old now
∵ Carlos is x years old now
∵ Carlos is 33 years younger than Kristen
- Kirsten's age is the sum of x and 33
∴ Kirsten is x + 33 years old now
2 years ago
∵ Carlos's age = x - 2
∵ Kristen's age = x + 33 - 2 = x + 31
∵ Kristen's age was 2 times Carlos's age
- Equate Kristen's age by 2 times Carlos's age
∴ x + 31 = 2(x - 2)
- Simplify the right hand side
∴ x + 31 = 2x - 4
- Subtract x from both sides
∴ 31 = x - 4
- Add 4 to both sides
∴ 35 = x
∵ x represents Carlos's age now
∴ Carlos is 35 years old now
In order to have infinitely many solutions with linear equations/functions, the two equations have to be the same;
In accordance, we can say:
(2p + 7q)x = 4x [1]
(p + 8q)y = 5y [2]
2q - p + 1 = 2 [3]
All we have to do is choose two equations and solve them simultaneously (The simplest ones for what I'm doing and hence the ones I'm going to use are [3] and [2]):
Rearrange in terms of p:
p + 8q = 5 [2]
p = 5 - 8q [2]
p + 2 = 2q + 1 [3]
p = 2q - 1 [3]
Now equate rearranged [2] and [3] and solve for q:
5 - 8q = 2q - 1
10q = 6
q = 6/10 = 3/5 = 0.6
Now, substitute q-value into rearranges equations [2] or [3] to get p:
p = 2(3/5) - 1
p = 6/5 - 1
p = 1/5 = 0.2
Hello,
f(g(x))=f(2x+2)=4(2x+2)+21=8x+29
f(g(7))=8*7+29=56+29=85
