Answer: $65.50 - 15% = 55.675
Step-by-step explanation:
Conversion a decimal number to a fraction: 65.50 = 655
10
= 131
2
Conversion a decimal number to a fraction: 9.825 = 9825
1000
= 393
40
Subtract: 65.5 - 9.825 = 131
2
- 393
40
= 131 · 20
2 · 20
- 393
40
= 2620
40
- 393
40
= 2620 - 393
40
= 2227
40
The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(2, 40) = 40

Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide the second equation by 2, it becomes ...
-x +2y = 11
Adding this to the first equation gives you the value of y:
(x -y) +(-x +2y) = (-4) +(11)
y = 7 . . . . . . . . simplify
The first equation can be rearranged to give an expression for x:
x = y -4
x = 7 -4 = 3
Then the solution is seen to be (x, y) = (3, 7).

Personally, I like a graphing calculator for a quick and easy solution to many linear systems. (If the solutions are non-integers, it may not be so helpful.)
I will assume the question is log (8x) = 4/3
This means, "The exponent we put on 10 to get 8x is 4/3"
10^(4/3) = 8x
x = [10^(4/3)]/8
x = 2.69
log (8*2.69) = 4/3 ?
log (21.52) = 4/3
1.33 = 4/3
1.33 = 1.33
