Answer:
Below
Step-by-step explanation:
Sale price of each tire : $92.99 - $20 = 72.99. The cost of x tires is 72.99x
If the sales tax is 4% there is an additional (72.99x)(1.04)
Here is the equation
= (72.99)(1.04) t
If Patrick bought 8 tires.....
= (72.99)(1.04)(8)
= $607.2768
Hope this helps!
Answer:
12=12
Step-by-step explanation:
2a = b
a -3b =12
To solve, set one of the equations equal to zero. The first equation is actually already set to 0.
b = 2a
Now you can plug this equation into the other one, by substituting the b in the equation with this.
a -3b = 12
a – 3(2a) = 12
Now all you have to do is distribute the 3 (multiply the number outside the parenthesis, 3 in this case, by everything inside).
a – 6a = 12
Combine like terms. Since we have 1 positive a and 6 negative ones, we subtract the two numbers without the signs
6-1 = 5
And take the sign of the larger number. Since 6 is large and 6 is negative, we are left with
-5a = 12
Now solve for a, which in this case means dividing both sides by -5
a = -12/5
Simplify
a = -2.4
Now that you have a, it’s easy to find b
b = 2a
b = 2(-2.4)
b= -4.8
Now you check your work by plugging your new a and b into either equation to see if it’s true.
-4.8 = 2(-2.4)
-4.8 = -4.8
And just for laughs let’s try the other equation
a -3b =12
-2.4 – 3(-4.8) = 12
Distribute the 3 again. Remember that when two negative numbers are multiplied they become positive.
-2.4 +14.4 = 12
12 = 12
Neither of them are functions. Functions cannot have two of the same numbers in the x value, and since the first table has two 5s in the x column and the second table has two 7s, neither of them can be functions.

Answer: the cost of a cheeseburger is $4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one cheeseburgers.
Let y represent the cost of one Soda.
The patriot diner sells 2 cheeseburgers and one soda for $11.00. It means that
2x + y = 11 - - - - - - - - - - - 1
She also sells 3 cheeseburgers and 2 sodas for $18.00. It means that
3x + 2y = 18 - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes
6x + 3y = 33
6x + 4y = 36
Subtracting, it becomes.
- y = - 3
y = 3
Substituting y = 3 into equation 1, it becomes
2x + 3 = 11
2x = 11 - 3 = 8
x = 8/2 = 4
