Answer:

x=-17, y=5. (-17, 5).

Step-by-step -2x-5y=9

3x+11y=4

---------------

3(-2x-5y)=3(9)

2(3x+11y)=2(4)

---------------------

-6x-15y=27

6x+22y=8

-----------------

7y=35

y=35/7

y=5

3x+11(5)=4

3x+55=4

3x=4-55

3x=-51

x=-51/3

x=-17

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular price is $62.50.

Explanation:

If the sale price is $50, and the sale is 20% off, that means the $50 represents the other 80% of the regular price—the part that you do pay. So then we ask ourselves, okay, $50 is 80 percent of... what? In math speak, that would be written as

$50(is)80%(of)(regular price)

$50=80% × r

Solving this for r, we get

r=$5080%

We remind ourselves that the "percentage" symbol is just a shorthand for "divide this number by 100." The equation becomes

r=$5080/100=$500.8=$62.50

So the regular price is $62.50.

Bonus:

A general formula can be used for any regular price r, any percent discount p, and any sale price s:

p%off of reg.price is sale price

(100−p)%× r = s

As long as we know two of the three variables {p,r,s}, we can solve for the third one.

PLZZ HELP!!! MATHS QUESTION!!!

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

To complete this chart, all you have to do is replace the numbers in the "x" column with the variable "x" in the expressions. Here's what I mean.

For the problem "13-x", replace "x" with the 2. Replace the x with the 2 for the rest of the problems. Then repeat the substitution method (chart is attached so you can see what I mean) with the numbers 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = {x}^{2} + 10 \\ \therefore \: f(2) = {2}^{2} + 10 \\ \therefore \: f(2) = 4 + 10 \\ \therefore \: f(2) = 14 \\ \\ g(x) = |x| \\ \therefore \:g(2) = |2| \\ \therefore \:g(2) = 2 \\ \\ f(2) + g(2) = 14 + 2 \\ \red{ \bold{(f + g)(2) = 14}}$
