Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe I answered a similar question, the reasoning behind it is the same.
Answer:
ahh pythagoras' theorem, my old nemesis...
Step-by-step explanation:
Turn 5% into a decimal which is 0.05, then multiply by 2.95 = 0.1475
round it off, which is 0.15
so $0.15 is the tax and if ur looking for the total price then add $2.95 to $0.15
These are the steps to solve this question. and I used Substitution to explain it.
1. Identify what you need.
2. Write out your two different equations.
30e + 115h = 1457 and e + h = 18
3. Identify witch way you would proceed. Substitution or Elimination.
4. Solve using you prefers way. for me I will use substitution. find either e first or h. this doesn't matter witch you start with.
5. Take one of the equations and get a variable alone. TIP: use the one share that variable stands alone.
6. When variable is alone. put what ever it equals on the other equation and solve. Do this once.
7. When solved take that answer and plug it into its desined spot and solve to find the other answer.
8. Alone both solutions from the answer to what e and h are.
The resulting equation after substitution is
5x + 4(-2x + 6) = 3
quite literally you replaced y with what it equals (as said in the second equation)
you then distribute the 4 within the parenthesis
5x + -8x + 24 = 3
You make it easier
5x - 8x +24 = 3
you combine like terms
-3x + 24 = 3
you subtract 24 from both sides
-3x = -21
you divide both sides by -3
meaning x = 7
you then use that value x = 7 and substitude it for the x in the other equation.
That makes the y equation
y = -2(7) + 6
you then solve
y = -14+6
y = 6 - 14
y = -8
