Answer:

(x, y) = (3, 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide the second equation by 2, it becomes ...

-x +2y = 11

Adding this to the first equation gives you the value of y:

(x -y) +(-x +2y) = (-4) +(11)

y = 7 . . . . . . . . simplify

The first equation can be rearranged to give an expression for x:

x = y -4

x = 7 -4 = 3

Then the solution is seen to be (x, y) = (3, 7).

Personally, I like a graphing calculator for a quick and easy solution to many linear systems. (If the solutions are non-integers, it may not be so helpful.)

A pack of cinnamon-scented pencils sells for $8.00. What is the sales tax rate if the total cost of the pencils is $8.64?

vesna_86 [32]

Selling price of a pack of cinnamon scented pencils = $8
Cost of the pack of pencils along with tax = $8.64
Then
Amount of tax taken = (8.64 - 8.00) dollars
   = 0.64 dollars
Percentage of sales tax taken = (0.64/8.00) * 100
   = 64/8
   = 8 percent
So the rate of sales tax for the pack of cinnamon scented pencils is 8%. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can use this method for solving similar problems without requiring any help from outside.

Which of the following is not an attribute of a parrellogram

Tems11 [23]

Answer: C: Parrellogram

Step-by-step explanation:

If the four sides do not connect at their endpoints, you do not have a closed shape; no parallelogram! If one side is longer than its opposite side, you do not have parallel sides; no parallelogram! If only one set of opposite sides are congruent, you do not have a parallelogram, you have a trapezoid.
