Answer:

x=4 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1) 3x+8y=20  

Equation 2) 5x+3y=23

Equation 1) 5(3x+8y=20 )  

Equation 2) 3(5x+3y=23)

15x+40y=100

15x+9y=69

(Take away 40y from 9y and 100 from 69)

31y = 31

y=1

Substitute y=1 into equation 1)

3x+8=20

(Take away 8 from both sides)

3x=12

(Divide by 3)

x=4

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

4

1.5(x+4) - 3 = 4.5( x-2)-----------------------open brackets on both sides

1.5 x +6 -3= 4.5x- 9.................................collect like terms

3+9 = 4.5 x- 1.5x

12=3x..................................divide by 3 both sides to get x

Video games sold: x
sammy [17]

Answer:

Profit P(x) = 53x-12 and On selling 20 video games profit will be 1048.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question functions are Revenue function : R(x) = 60x and Cost function : C(x) = 12+7x  for the sale of x video games

As we know profit = sale price - cost price

Therefore P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

Or P(x) = (R-C)x = 60x - (12+7x)

P(x) = 60x -12 - 7x

P(x) = 53x -12

Now the profit on selling 20 video games will be

P(20) = 53×20 -12 = 1060 -12 = 1048.

in a sale there is twenty five per cent off all prices a bed cost £33 in the sale how much was it before the sale ?
goldfiish [28.3K]
The original price was 100% and the sale was -25%
100% - 25% = 75%
This means 75% = £33
75% = 3/4
If we divide the sale amount by 3 and them multiply by 4, we will get the original amount.
£33 / 3 = £11
£11 x 4 = £44
