Answer:

y = 16, don't know if I'm 100% right but hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

since they both equal Y they may be equal to each other

Then you would subtract 2x from both sides canceling it out on one side

2x + 8 = 5x - 4

-2x -2x

This would make the equation 8 = 3x - 4

next you add the 4 from both sides

8 = 3x - 4

+4 +4

This will leave you with 12 = 3x

now you divide 3 from both sides and 12/3 = 4 makes X = 4

next you take (4) and plug it in to one of the equations

y = 2(4) + 8

y = 8 + 8

y = 16

Quality Cleaners decides to raise the price of dry cleaning a vest from $5 to $6. The same percent increase is applied to dry cl

devlian [24]

Answer:

$14.4

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of dry cleaning a vest = $5

The new price of dry cleaning a vest = $6

The percentage increase is obtained by

$\frac{new price-old price}{old price}$ × 100

$\frac{6-5}{5}$ ×100 = 20%

hence, there is a 20% increase in price.

applying this 20% increase to the cost of dry cleaning, the new cost will become

$\frac{100+20}{100}$ ×12

this is a 120% increase in cost.

mathematically this can be solved by

$\frac{120}{100}$ ×12 = $14.4

hence, the new cost of dry cleaning is $14.4

Choosing a 6 one though six then a prime number

oksano4ka [1.4K]

First off, there are 6 choices: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6

The probability of getting a 6 is 1/6
The probability of getting a prime number is 1/2

Multiply them and you get 1/12

The probability is 1/12.

Hope this helped!

$\bf \textit{area of a rectangle}\\\\ A=Lw~~ \begin{cases} L=length\\ w=width\\ ----------\\ L=\stackrel{\textit{longer by 10 than \underline{w}}}{w+10}\\ A=10,000 \end{cases}\implies 10,000=(w+10)w$
