A-b=21
5a-2b=18
We can use substitution here. Take the first equation and solve for A. (Picking this one because it's easy)
a = 21+b
Plugin to the second equation:5(21+b)-2b=18
Simplify: 105 + 5b - 2b = 18
Simplify: 105 + 3b = 18
Subtract both sides: 3b = 18-105
Simplify: 3b = -87
Divide: b = -29
Plug back into the first: a=21+b
a = 21 - 29
a = -8
Option D
If we subtract the 2 equations we eliminate x:-
x - x - 2y - (-y) = -26--2
-y = -24
y = 24
Plug this into the first equation:-
x - 2(24) = -26
x = -26 + 48 = 22
Answer is x = 22 and y = 24
Answer:
$20.00 dollars will be the new cost.
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply $12.50 and 60% to get $7.50.
$7.50 plus $12.50 is $20.00.
Answer: Y= 2/3x + 9
Explanation: The equation is in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b. Since it is parallel to the equation, it has the same slope (2/3x) and since b is the x intercept, b is 9.
