4x=-12
x= -3
Now that we know the value of x we plug that value into the first equation to solve for y
7(-3) +8y=-29
-21+8y= -29
8y=-8
y= -1
If you have an item that costs 10 dollars and a sales tax of 7% you could do it this way
10 * 7/100 = 0.70 dollars.
The total cost is 10.70 dollars. or 10 dollars and 70 cents.
The best way to do the total however is to multiply the cost by 1.07. You will get the number the customer has to pay.
10 * 1.07 = 10.70
So for any price (p) it would be 1.07*p
Answer:
width = 8 inches; length = 13 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 5)x = 104
x^2 + 5x - 104 = 0
(x - 8)(x + 13) = 0
x - 8 = 0 or x + 13 = 0
x = 8 or x = -13
Since the width of a rectangle cannot be a negative number, we discard the answer x = -13.
x = 8
The width is 8 inches.
The length is 8 + 5 = 13.
The length is 13 inches.
Answer: 22.222222222.....%
Put it into an equation.
<u>32 </u> x <u>(x)</u>
144 100
Cross multiply, then divide.
32 x 100 = 3,200
3,200 / 144 = 22.222222222......%
The only possible one is 1/8 and the answer would be B. 0.125
