<u>Answer:</u> x = 1/5 and y= -7/5

Step-by-step explanation: Let's solve your system by elimination.

Multiply the first equation by -3,and multiply the second equation by 1.

-3 (x - 2y = 3)

1 (3x - y = 2)

Becomes:

-3x + 6y = -9

3x -y = 2

Add these equations to eliminate x:

5y = -7

Then solve 5y = -7

5y/7 = -7/5

y = -7/5

Now that we‘ve found y, let’s plug it back in and solve for x.

Write down an original equation:

x - 2y = 3

<h3>Substitute -7/5 for y in x - 2y = 3:</h3><h3>x - 2 (-7/5) = 3</h3><h3>x + 14/5 = 3</h3><h3>x 14/5 + -14/5 = 3 + -14/5 (Add (-14)/5 to both sides)</h3><h3>x = 1/5</h3><h3><u>Answer: </u></h3><h3>x = 1/5 and y = -7/5</h3><h3 /><h3 /><h3 />

Mashcka [7]

Answer: he would receive a rebate of $1677.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A General Motors buyer-incentive program offered a 5.5% rebate on the selling price of a new car. This means that if the selling price of the new car is $x, the rebate (in dollars) that a customer would receive is

5.5/100 × x = 0.055 × x = 0.055x

Therefore, for a customer who purchased a $30,500 car under this program, the rebate that he would receive is

0.055 × 30500 = $1677.5

A thermometer can help us determine how cold or hot a substance is. Temperature is in most of the world measured and reported in degrees Celsius (°C). In the U.S. it is common to report temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F). In the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales the temperatures where ice melts (water freezes) and water boils are used as reference points.
