I am not sure, but I think you are talking about the least square method
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
-4/5(-8x + 6) = 1 + 7 (distribute first)
6.4x -4.8 = 8 (add 4.8 on both sides)
6.4x = 12.8 (divide by 6.4)
x = 2
PLUG IN
-4/5(-8(2) + 6) = 1 + 7
-4/5(-16 + 6) = 8
-4/5(-10) = 8
8 = 8
<span>You need to set up 2 equations for this, a system to be exact
let x represent the cheaper phone and y represent the upgraded phone
for store costs you will have
5x+25y=200
for selling prices you will have 30x+100y=900
set these two equations together
5x+25y=200
30x+100y=900
multiply the first one by -4 and add them
-20x-100y=-800
30x+100y=900
10x=100
x=10
10 cheaper phones, plug into any equation again
5(10)+25(y)=200
y=6<<<6 upgraded phones</span>
since the selling price is 89.83 and the cost of is 76, the tax amount is 89.83 - 76 = 13.83.
if we take 76 to be the 100%, what is 13.83 off of it in percentage?

Answer:
24/36 = 12 x 2/12 x 3 = 2/3.
