Answer:
(1 , 2
)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
7x - y = 7 → (1)
x + 2y = 6 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the y- term
14x - 2y = 14 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
15x = 20 ( divide both sides by 15 )
x = =
= 1
Substitute this value of x into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting in (2)
+ 2y = 6
2y = 6 - =
( divide both sides by 2 )
y = = 2
We have been given that Sterre charges $35 to file tax returns, but files for free if she only needs the easiest form. Also, she donates $2 to clean water projects per tax return she files.
Further we know that Sterre charged $7,245 and made a donation of $1,242 this year for the tax returns she filed.
Let x be the number of free income tax returns and y be the number of $35 income tax returns.
Therefore, we can set up:
Since she donates $2 for each return that she files, therefore, we can set up:
Therefore,
Sterre filed 414 tax returns for free and filed 207 tax returns for $35.
