Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
First city: $5,500
Second city: $5,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define x as the hotel price in the first city and y the hotel price in the second city. We can start with this equation:
y = x - 500 (The hotel before tax in the 2nd city was $500 lower than in the 1st.)
Then we can say
0.065x + 0.045y = 582.50 (the sum of the tax amounts were $582.50)
We place the value of y from the first equation in the second equation:
0.065x + 0.045 (x - 500) = 582.50
0.065x + 0.045x - 22.50 = 582.50 (simplifying and adding 22.5 on each side)...
0.11x = 605
x = 5,500
The cost of the first hotel was $5,500
Thus, the cost of the second hotel was $5,000 (x - 500)
Its in the tens place so the unit value is 30
Answer:
This cannot be done, but it can be factored as: 6(5x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
This expression cannot be distributed any further.
The distributive property is used when multiplying polynomials (multiplying one or more terms by two or more terms). In which case, each term in multiplied by each of the terms in the bracket, for example: .
5(x + 2) = 5x + 10
We can factor this expression however to go the opposite direction:
30x + 6
Since 30 and 6 are both divisible by 6, we can factor it out of each term.
Divide 30x by 6 and divide 6 by 6.
6(5x + 1)
All the numbers in the first equation have a common factor of 2. Removing that gives
.. x +4y = 6
making it easy to solve for x
.. x = 6 -4y
My choice would be to solve for x using the first equation.

On second thought, it might actually be easier to solve either equation for 8y. That term then directly substitutes into the other equation (equivalent to adding the two equations).
.. 8y = 3x -11 . . . . . from the second equation
.. 2x +(3x -11) = 12 . . . substituting into the first equation
.. 5x = 23 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, add 11 (what you would get by adding the equations in the first place)
.. x = 4.6
.. y = (3*4.6 -11)/8 = 0.35
