3x-2y=-5
3y-4x=8
1) multiply the first equation by 3
3(3x-2y=-5) this will give you the new equation: 9x-6y=-15
2) multiply the second equation by 2
2(3y-4x=8) this should give you the equation: 6y-8x=16
3) combine both equations/ like terms
9x-6y=-15
6y-8x=16
4) -6y and 6y cancel out
9x=-15
-8x=16
5) 9x and -8x combine to make 1x or just x and -15 combined with 16 gives you just 1
6) we are now left with:
x=1
7) plug in the x to any of the two original equations ( i chose the first)
3x-2y=-5
3(1) - 2y = -5
3 - 2y = -5
-2y = -8
y = 4
When you plug in the x=1 you are given 3(1) - 2y = -5
Distribute the 3 and you should have 3 - 2y = -5
Subtract 3 from 3 (this cancels out) then from -5
This should leave you with -2y = -8 ( -3 and -5 add to -8)
Divide by -2 ( -2 divided by -2 cancels out)
-8 divided by -2 gives you 4 (two negatives make a positive)
So, y=4 and x=1
To check, plug in x=1 and y=4 into one equation. when you're done with that you can plug them into the other. when you plug them into the first equation you get -5=-5 which means they worked. when plugged into the second, the result is 8=8 which means x=1 and y=4 worked for both equations.

First, count the difference of the cost production and the selling cost
difference = 12 - 5.8
difference = 6.2
Second, transform the difference to percentage
percentage = difference/product cost × 100%
percentage = 6.2/5.8 × 100%
percentage = (620/5.8) %
percentage = 106.9%
The mark up cost is 106.9%
Answer: 396
Step-by-step explanation:
It is 396 because you change the percentage to a decimal and then multiply it by the big number and one you have done that you multiply it again by 3.
Answer:
1.25 minutes, or 1 minute 15 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that is speed is 0.4 pages per 0.5 minutes. This is 0.8 pages per 1 minute. If we divide 1/0.8, we get 1.25 or 1 minute 15 seconds.
