Answer :When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. When prices are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as $25 per ticket or $0.89 per can, they are called unit prices.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sale price is 4/5 of the original price...with x being the original price
4/5x
0.8x
these are the same because 4/5 = 0.8..its just in decimal form
Answer:
x = 2, y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 5
Shift y to the other side and change to (-y).
x = 5 - y --- Equation 1
x - 2y = -4 --- Equation 2
Substitute x = 5 - y into Equation 2:
x - 2y = -4
5 - y - 2y = -4
Shift 5 to the other side and change to (-5).
-y - 2y = -4 - 5
Evaluate like terms.
-3y = -9
Divide both sides by -3.
y = -9 ÷ -3
y = 3
Substitute y = 3 into Equation 1:
x = 5 - y
x = 5 - 3
x = 2
the answer is 6(2) - 2(4) + 5
answer: 9
