Answer:
So sorry! Wish I could help : /
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution to a system of (linear) equations is the point where the graphs intersect. Consider two parallel lines. By definition, two parallel lines never intersect each other, but all pairs of non-parallel lines will eventually intersect. That means they will also have a solution.
Let's consider what makes a line parallel to another line. It basically looks identical, having the same steepness (slope), but the graph is just shifted over. That is, a parallel line would have the same slope and a different y-intercept. For our equation

, or

in slope-intercept form, a parallel line will be of the form

.
That describes the form of a parallel line, which we do not want. Any other line, however, will give a solution to our system, so we merely want a line where the slope does not equal 2.
We can have any equation of the form

.
Step-by-step explanation:
100% - 25% off = 75%
Here, 75% of the initial price X, is the sale price of jeans during the season which is $60.
75/100 × X = $60
75X/100 =$60
( cross multiply)
75X=100×60
75X= 6000
X=6000÷75
X= $80
4x - 26 = 2x - 4....subtract 2x from both sides
4x - 2x - 26 = -4...add 26 to both sides
4x - 2x = -4 + 26...combine terms
2x = 22...divide both sides by 2
x = 22/2 = 11
OR
4x - 26 = 2x - 4.....subtract 4x from both sides
-26 = 2x - 4x - 4....add 4 to both sides
-26 + 4 = 2x - 4x...combine terms
-22 = -2x....divide both sides by -2
-22/-2 = x
11 = x
