Let x = Initial Price
If we increase x by 5%, we are adding 0.05x
Therefore, the new price = x + 0.05x = 1.05x
If the ticket has increased by £2.30, £2.30 is 5% of the initial price, or 0.05x
0.05x = 2.30
x = 2.30/0.05
x = 46
Therefore, the price of the ticket before the increase was £46
You can also check this backwards by doing 46*0.05 = 2.30
Answer:
A. 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is just the sum of all of the side lengths. The sides of this triangle are n inches, (n + 5.2) inches, and (2n + 3.4) inches.
So, your equation is n + n + 5.2 + 2n + 3.4 = 22.6 inches.
You can combine like terms (adding together all of the n's and all of the numbers) to simplify your equation to 4n + 8.6 = 22.6 inches.
Subtract 8.6 from both sides of the equation to get 4n = 14, and divide both sides by 4 to get n = 3.5.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
(x, y) = (0, -2248)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Substitution</u>
Substitute for y:
300x -2248 = 350x -2248
0 = 50x . . . . . . . . add 2248-300x to both sides
x = 0
y = 300·0 -2248
The solution is (x, y) = (0, -2248).
__
<u>Elimination</u>
Subtract the first equation from the second.
(y) -(y) = (350x -2248) -(300x -2248)
0 = 50x
x = 0
y = 300·0 -2248
The solution is (x, y) = (0, -2248).
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
If you think for a bit about what the graph looks like, you realize both lines cross at their y-intercept, (0, -2248). That point of intersection is the solution to the system of equations.
Answer:
The quotient of (x^2-4xy) is x-4y
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
I just finished the test and this was the answer I put and it was right.
9x+6y=b
6y=b-9x
y=b/6 -9/6x
y=b/6-3x/2
y= -3x/2 +b/6
3x + 2y = 1
2y = 1 - 3x
y = 1/2 -3/2x
y = -3/2x + 1/2
b/6=1/2
b=3
