Answer:
By saying "paying the same rate"
I believe you want to know for example when two people are buying a product how to know if they are paying the same amount.
If so then there are a couple of factors at play.
First of all you need to identify the GDP of the product and the amount of tax/VAT which if calculated properly may help you tell if they are paying the same amount or not.
Answer: Vertex (-3, 1) and x-intercept (-4, 0), (-2, 0)
Answer:
Mmm either B or D one of those two
4x + 5y = -13
2(4x + 5y) = 2(-13)
8x + 10y = -26 (equation 1)
5x - 2y = -8
5(5x - 2y) = 5(-8)
25x - 10y = -40 (equation 2)
equation 1 + equation 2,
(8x + 10y) + (25x - 10y) = (-26) + (-40)
8x + 10y + 25x - 10y = -26 + -40
33x = -66
x = -2
substitute x = -2 into equation 1,
8x + 10y = -26
8(-2) + 10y = -26
-16 + 10y = -26
10y = -10
y = -1
The values of x and y are -2 and -1 respectively.
