Well if you're wanting to use substitution, you first have to end up with one term on either side of the equation. Use the second one as it's easiest.
So: x-2y=11, so find -2y as there is a -2y in the first equation.
then that becomes -2y=11-x. then sub that into equation 1, and you get:
-x+11-x=-13, which equals to -2x+11=-13, which is -2x=-24, so therefore
x=12. then chuck the x into any of the equations to find what y equals.
hope this helps!
Answer:
6, 3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the simple interest, we multiply 600 × 0.04 × 1.5 to get that:
The interest is: $36.00
What are the answer options?
Let us say the original price of taco before tip was x dollars.
Percentage of tip given =25 %
Amount of tip given = $2
Now we can say that 25 % of total amount = 2 dollars.
Making an equation,

Now we have to solve for x, so dividing both sides by 0.25,
x= 8
Answer : The original price of tacos before tip was $8.
