Leni [432]4 years ago

Answer:

x = 5, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Elimination method: (I will be eliminating 4y) </u>

3x + 4y = 27 --- Equation 1

x + 4y = 17 --- Equation 2

Equation 1-2: 3x + 4y - x - 4y = 27 - 17

2x = 10

x = 10 ÷ 2

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into Equation 2:

x + 4y = 17

4y + 5 = 17

4y = 17 - 5

    = 12

y = 12 ÷ 4

y = 3

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s). Consider the eq
Deffense [45]

To solve for x in terms of b, simply treat b as a number, and solve for x as usual: first of all, we expand the left hand side:

-2bx+10 = 16

Subtract 10 from both sides:

-2bx = 6

Divide both sides by -2b:

x = \cfrac{6}{-2b} = \cfrac{-3}{b}

This means that in particular, if we set b= 3, we have

x = \cfrac{-3}{3} = -1

You are at a restaurant and your bill comes to $31.18. The sales tax is 6% and you give the waitress a 20 percent tip on the tot
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

$ 0.34   or 34 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill amount = $31.18

sales tax = 6%  of $31.18

             =  0.06 ($31.18)

             = $1.8708

Bill with tax = $31.18+$1.8708

                  = $33.0508

value of tip = 20% of 33.0508

                   =  6.61016

Total  payment  = 33.0508+ 6.61016

                           = $39.66096

                          or $39.66

                         We get change of $40 - $39.66

                                                = $ 0.34        

We shall get back in  cents that will be 34   cents
