Answer:
y=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
first, you want variables on one side, numbers on the other side of the equation.
4y+4=2y-10
*plus ten on both side to get rid of -10*
4y+14=2y
*minus 4y on each side to get rid of 4y*
14=-2y
*divide by -2 on each side to get the value of just one y itself*
y=-7
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of jeans at store b be $x.

Answer:
- $9,000 at 15%
- $4,000 at 10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount borrowed at 15%. Then the amount borrowed at 10% is (13000-x). The interest at the end of the year is ...
0.15(x) + 0.10(13000 -x) = 1750
0.05x = 1750 -1300 . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 1300
x = 450(20) = 9000 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 20
$9,000 was borrowed at 15%; $4,000 was borrowed at 10%.
