X*y=72
x = 5y-2
x=72/y
72/y=5y-2
72=5y^2-2y
5y^2 -2y - 72 = 0
(5y+18)(y-4)=0
y = -18/5 discard
or y = 4
4x=72
x=18
(18,4)
The final price is the cost plus the tax.
Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as
T = C(1+r)
T = what Graham paid = $87.45
C = cost before tax
r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40
Plugging in what we know
87.45 = C (1+.4)
87.45 = C(1.4)
Divide both sides by 1.4
C = $62.46
In Order To Find The Answer To this quetsion,you have to divide each set of fractions by them selfs and there for 9/20 and 45/1000 are the closest ones.
Divide 45/1000=0.045 but Divide 9/20=0.45 and that is your answer.
Given problem is -4.2y+2.1>-2.52.
To solve this, we combine numbers by transposing -2.52 to the left side and transposing variable term in the right side as shown below:
2.1+2.52>4.2y
Perform addition of values 2.1 and 2.52,
4.62>4.2y
Then, divide both sides with 4.2 and the result is 1.1>y.
The answer is y<1.1.
