Answer:

x = -4; y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 5y = 7

3x - y = -9

Rewrite top equation. Multiply both sides of bottom equation by -5. Add equations. This eliminates y, and we solve for x.

         2x - 5y = 7

(+)   -15x + 5y = 45

----------------------------

      -13x         = 52

Divide both sides by -13.

x = -4

Substitute -4 for x in the first original equation and solve for y.

2x - 5y = 7

2(-4) - 5y = 7

-8 - 5y = 7

-5y = 15

y = -3

Answer: x = -4; y = -3

-5 =

1. Cross multiply
35x = 5(11)
35x = 55
Divide both sides by 35
x = 55/35
x = 11/7

2.  (x - 2)/x = 3/8
Cross multiply
3x = 8(x - 2)
3x = 8x - 16
Subtract 8x from both sides
-5x = -16
divide both sides by -5
x = -16/-5
x = 16/5 OR  3 1/5

3.  (a + 1)/(a - 1) = 5/6
cross multiply
6(a + 1) = 5(a - 1)
distribute
6a + 6 = 5a - 5
subtract 5a from both sides
a + 6 = -5
subtract 6 from both sides
a = -11

4.  (1/3)x - 4 = (2/3)x + 6
multiply each term by 3 to clear the fractions
x - 12 = 2x + 18
subtract x from both sides
-12 = x + 18
subtract 18 from both sides
-30 = x

Answer:

The amount of markup is 88 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the whole sale price of bicycle is: $400

P = \$400

Mark up is the profit that the seller of the product makes after selling the product more in price more than its cost or buying price.

Given that mark up percentage is 22%

It can be written mathematically as:

Mark\ up = 22\%\ of\ Price\\Mark\ up = 0.22 * P\\Mark\ up = 0.22 * 400\\= \$88

Hence,

The amount of markup is 88 dollars.
