Vinil7 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x+8y=-4

6x-8y=-12   8y and 8x cancel out

         x=-16

To solve for y, substitute x=-16 back into the first equation

-5(-16)+8y=-4

    80+8y=-4

          8y=-84

            y=-10.5

You buy books for 64 cents each, you plan to sell them for 75 cents each. You're left with 100 unsold books, and you lost $12. H
PSYCHO15rus [73]

The number of books sold is 473.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

  • The original cost of each book = $0.64
  • The selling price of each book = $0.75

The difference between the original price and selling price of the book gives the profit per book.

The profit of one book = Selling price - Original price

Let,

  • The total number of books be 'x'.
  • The number of books sold be 'y'.
  • The unsold books is 100.
  • The total profit is -12 because it was gone to a loss of $12.

Therefore, the equation is formed as

total Profit = 0.75y - 0.64x

⇒ 0.75y - 0.64x = -12 --------(1)

Total books = sold books + unsold books

x = y + 100

⇒ x-y = 100  -------(2)

Substitute x= 100+y in the eq(1),

0.75y - 0.64(100+y) = -12

0.75y - 64 -0.64y = -12

0.11y = -12 +64

y = 52 / 0.11

y = 472.7

y ≅ 473

The number of book sold is 473 books.

The total number of books is (100+473) = 573 books.

a square sandbox has an area of 42 squareft what is the approximate perimeter of the sandbox to the nearest hundredth
Ugo [173]

The area of a square is its side length squared. So the side length of the square squared is 42, so the side length of the square is sqrt(42). The perimeter of the square is 4 times the side length, or 4sqrt(42), which is approximately 25.92.
