She has $12,488 in savings
Step-by-step explanation:
Ariana plans to use $260 less than three-fourths of savings to buy a car.
If the purchase price of the car is 9,340, we need to find how much
she has in savings
To find the savings
- Assume that she has $x in savings
- Write an equation of x
- Solve the equation to find x
∵ She has $x in savings
∵ She plans to use $260 less than three-fourths of savings
- Three-fourths means
and less than means subtract
∴ She plans to use
x - 26
∵ The purchase price of the car is 9,340
- Equate the expression of x by 9,340
∴
x - 26 = 9,340
Now let us solve the equation
∵
x - 26 = 9,340
- Add 26 to both sides
∴
x = 9,366
- Divide both sides by
∴ x = $12,488
She has $12,488 in savings

Answer:
x= -13
y= -28
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the two numbers, write a system of equations with x as one number and y as another:
x-y=15
5x=2y-9
Use substitution to substitute one equation into another. Then solve for the variable.
x=15+y into 5x=2y-9
becomes
5(15+y) = 2y-9
75+5y = 2y- 9
75+3y= -9
3y = -84
y= -28
To find x, substitute y= -28 into one equation.
x - (-28) = 15
x+28 =15
x = 15-28
x=-13
