120 - 96 = 24

Now we have to find what percent of 120 24 is.

x × 120 = 24
x = 0.2

0.2 means 20%.

The discount is 20% off.

Solve the system 6x -2y+z= -2 2x+ 3y - 3z =11 x+ 6y=31
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

x = 1

y = 5

z = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations:

6x - 2y + z = -2

2x + 3y - 3z = 11

x + 6y = 31

Isolate one variable in any of the equations:

x + 6y = 31

x = 31 - 6y

Plug in this value for x in another equation:

6(31 - 6y) - 2y + z = -2

186 - 36y - 2y + z = -2

186 - 38y + z = -2

-38y + z = -188

z = -188 + 38y

Plug in these values in the remaining equation:

2(31 - 6y) + 3y - 3(-188 + 38y) = 11

62 - 12y + 3y + 564 - 114y = 11

626 - 12y + 3y - 114y = 11

626 - 9y - 114y = 11

626 - 123y = 11

-123y = -615

y = 5

Plug in value of y into our other answers to solve for x and z:

x = 31 - 6(5)

x = 31 - 30

x = 1

z = -188 + 38(5)

z = -188 + 190

z = 2

Check your work:

6x - 2y + z = -2

6(1) - 2(5) + 2 = -2

6 - 10 + 2 = -2

-4 + 2 = -2

-2 = -2

Correct!

*Note there are several ways to solve for these types of problems. I used substitution*

Which set is a function?
Elis [28]
When finding if a set is a function, the best method is looking at the x coordinates. Make sure that the if the x coordinates repeats that the y coordinates are identical, meaning if a point repeats; (2,0) and (2,0). If the x coordinates repeats itself but has two different y coordinates, it is not a function: (2,0) and (2,6).
A. x=0 repeats with two different y coordinates, NOT FUNCTION
B. No x's repeat, FUNCTION
C. x=2 repeats with two different y coordinates, NOT FUNCTION
D. x=6 repeats with two different y coordinates, NOT FUNCTION
