Answer:

X = 8, Y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) Solve for Y w/ bottom equation to yield - y = -2/3x + 40/3.

Step 2) substitute equation into x + y = 16 to get 1/3x + 40/3 = 16 multiply by 3 to clear the fractions and get x + 40 = 48 - subtract 40 by both sides to get x = 8.

Step 3) Plug x = 8 into the bottom equation to get 48 + 9y = 120, subtract 48 by both sides to get 9y = 72 and then divide by 9. The product is y = 8.

A store is having a 1/3-off sale. You want to buy a jacket that originally cost $60. What is the sale price of the jacket?

masha68 [24]

Do a proportion
1/3= x/60
Cross multiply and divide
1 x 60= 60 and 60 divided by 3 is 20
So you get $20 off
60-20= 40
Answer is $40

Given the equation 5 + x - 12 = x - 7. Part A. Solve the equation 5 + x - 12 = x - 7. In your final answer, be sure to state the

myrzilka [38]

Part A:
$5+x-12=x-7$
$5+x=x+5$
$5=5$

Since we know that, this equation has infinite solutions.

<span>Part B:
</span> $5+(-4)-12=(-4)-7$
$-11=11$
- This is with our solution.

$5+0-12=0-7$
$-7=-7$
- This is with our solution.

$5+5-12=5-7$
$-2=-2$
- This is with our solution.

- So, we just proved that 3 random values work, this means that this equation does indeed have infinite solutions.
