Step-by-step explanation:
x+3y=-4(eqn1)
x=-4-3y
from (eqn 2)
2(-4-3y)+6y=5
-8-6y+6y=5
y=5+8=13.
y=13
from eqn 1
x+3(13)=-4
x+39=-4
x=-4-39
x=-43.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Cosine is the adjacent side over the hypotenuse (You can remember sin, cos, and tan by using sohcahtoa or sin = opposite/hypotenuse, cos = adjacent/hypotenuse, tan = opposite over adjacent). I think a picture would help, too.
I attached a picture of what I think the triangle would look like.
If the picture is right (we're assuming it is) and going with what we're given (the triangle was addressed as triangle XYZ, meaning that <u>angle Y is in the middle and that's the one we'll use</u>).
Looking at my picture then:
.

the values of x are -7/5 and -7/8 .
The expression that can be used to represent x is not shown.
x is the price of the shoes
5% commission on every pair of shoes sold. $1.00 is the value of the commission received.
$1/5% = 1 / 0.05 = 20
The price of the shoes is 20.
