Answer:
y = 3, x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
5x – 3y = 6
5x = 6 + 3y
x = (6 + 3y)/5
3x + 4y= 21
3x = 21 - 4y
x = (21-4y)/3
Using simultaneous equations:
(21-4y)/3 = (6 + 3y)/5
--> 105-20y = 18 + 9y
29y = 87
Answer:
1 foot and 6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
12 feet (144 inches) - 10 feet and 6 inches (126 inches) = 1 foot and 6 inches (18 inches)
OK first convert one of the equations into Y=MX+b form
Y-2x = 3
Add 2X
Y = 2x +3
Now substitute this equation in the other one.
So it would be
3X - 2Y = 5
3X-2(2x+3) = 5
Now solve for y
3X - 4X - 6 = 5
-1X - 6 = 5
Add 6
-1X = 11
X = -11
Now substitute this into one of the equations
Y - 2X = 3
Y -2(-11) = 3
Y +22 = 3
y = 3-22
y = -19
20*.4= 8
(20 as the original price, .4 is 40% as a decimal)
20+8
(eight being 40% of 20)
$28 is the new price.
