20*.4= 8
(20 as the original price, .4 is 40% as a decimal)
20+8
(eight being 40% of 20)
$28 is the new price.
First, find the GCF. For these two numbers, it is 36. (Because 36 times 1 is 36 and 36 times 2 is 72)
Divide both sides by this, which gives you a
2:1 ratio
Hi there! I can help you! 8 + (-9) + (-2). When adding negative integers, you have to subtract. 8 - 9 is -1 and -1 - 2 is -3. You would have to start at 8 and go to the left 11 times to land on -3. The sum to the problem is -3.
Add these together.
You get -15y=-45
So y=3
Now plug in to first equation.
8x-8(3)=-16
8x-24=-16
8x=8 so x=1
Check both values in second equation.
-8(1)-7(3)=
-8-21=-29
It works...so x=1, y=3
You can combine the -6 and -1 to -7. So the expression can be simplified as -3x-7
