Answer:
8 and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be l and s.
We have equations:
l = 5s + 18
3l + 4s = 16
Solve for s by substituting l into the second equation:
3(5s + 18) + 4s = 16
15s + 54 + 4s = 16
19s = 16 - 54
19s = -38
s = -38/19
s = -2
Find the value of l:
l = 5(-2) + 18
l = -10 + 18
l = 8
Answer:
By saying "paying the same rate"
I believe you want to know for example when two people are buying a product how to know if they are paying the same amount.
If so then there are a couple of factors at play.
First of all you need to identify the GDP of the product and the amount of tax/VAT which if calculated properly may help you tell if they are paying the same amount or not.
Answer:
The first graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
When there is a negative discriminant, we call this "no solution" or "no real solution" because there are no x-intercepts. In the first graph, there are no x-intercepts.
Answer:
A = $1311 and 96cents
Step-by-step explanation:

P = $1200
r = 1.8% = 0.018
n = 1 (compounded yearly)
t = 5

U have a slope of 5/4...a perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope...which means, the slope we need is -4/5.
Now we use y = mx + b
slope(m) = -4/5
(8,-7)
-7 = -4/5(8) + b
-7 = -32/5 + b
-7 + 32/5 = b
-35/5 + 32/5 = b
-3/5 = b
equation is : y = -4/5x - 3/5.....4x + 5y = -3
4x + 5y = -3....when x = 3
4(3) + 5y = -3
12 + 5y = -3
5y = -3-12
5y = - 15
y = -15/5
y = - 3 <===
