Answer:
b=3.54
Step-by-step explanation:
9.89-6.35=3.54
For number 2. The answer is $6.49
Let start off with 5/8+7/8= 1 4/8
Now it's 13+1 4/8= 14 4/8 or 14 1/2 :)
y = 8 -2x
x + 2 (8 - 2x) = 1
x + 16 - 4x = 1
x - 4x = -15
-3x = -15
x = 5
If x = 5, then we can substitute in...
5 + 2y = 1
2y = -4
y = -2
Now let us check that by substituting those values in to the equation
2x + y = 8
2 (5) + (-2) = 8
That is correct so we have the right values for x and y/
