3y = 5x + 30
y + 5x = 50 .......(1)
3y - 5x = 30 .....(2) - rearranging the first equation.
Add (1) and (2):-
4y = 80
y = 20
Now plug y = 20 into equation (1):-
20 + 5x = 50
5x = 30
x = 6
The 2 numbers are 6 and 20.
She received $2
--
8x2= 16
So if 8 yuan equals $1 then 16 divided by 8 would be $2, hope this helped.
To answer this you could do a couple things. 1. Actually calculate both tips and then subtract them. Here is the math ( assuming it is $60, not 60% that you mean). a. 0.15 x 60 = $9. b. 0.0825 x 2 x 60=$9.90. c. 9.90-9.00= $0.90 difference.
The other strategy would be to find the difference on the percents and then multiply by $60. a. 8.25%x2=16.5%-15%. Difference of 1.5%. b. 0.015 x $60=$0.90.

350 ft (b)
Pythagorean theorem
a-squared + b-squared = c-squared
400-squared + 350-squared = c-squared
160,000 + 122,500 = c- squared
282,500 = c-squared
Now take the square root of each side of the equation
531.5 = c
The length of the rope is 531.5 feet
