3y = -1/2x + 2 . . . . . . . . (1)
y = -x + 9 . . . . . . . . (2)
substituting (2) into (1), we have
3(-x + 9) = -1/2x + 2
-3x + 27 = -1/2x + 2
-1/2x + 3x = 27 - 2
5/2x = 25
x = (2 x 25)/5
x = 10
From (2)
y = -10 + 9
y = -1
solution (10, -1)
Answer:

Answer: $172.50
Step-by-step explanation: Method 1:
The original price of the item is $230.
The discount is 25%.
Let's find 25% of $230.
25% of $230 = 0.25 * $230 = $57.50
The discount amount is $57.50.
Now we subtract the amount of the discount from the original cost.
Sale price = $230 - $57.50 = $172.50
Method 2.
The original price is $230.
That means that $230 is 100% of the price since 100% of a thing means the entire thing.
Since the discount is 25% of the price, we subtract 25% from 100%, 100% - 25% = 75%.
The sale price is 75% of the original price.
Now we find 75% of $230.
75% of $230 = 0.75 * $230 = $172.50
Answer:
1.5375
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply without the decimal points, then put the decimal point in the final answer
1025 x 15 = 15375
....
10.25 has TWO decimal places
0.15 has TWO decimal places
Therefore, when you multiply with the decimal points (10.25 x 0.15), the answer should have FOUR total decimal places.
So the answer is 1.5375
