Please help!!!! And if you can explain it.

Answer 1

Hi!

Now I can answer.

I used systems of equations That is how I solved it. Always remember to check your answer by plugging it back into the word problem. If you aren't comfortable with systems of equations then find some help in this area.

(.85x)1.25=y new line

x + 10=y new line

x=y-10 new line

(.85(y-10))1.25=y new line

(.85y-8.5)1.25=y new line

1.0625y-10.625=y new line

.0625y=10.625 new line

y=170 new line

 x=160

Hope this helps!!
