Ok im not sure the answer yet so ima work on it at the same time while im explaining it. (The answer will probably be near the end)
We can use the elimination method to eliminate y out. To do that we multiply the first equation by 3.
6x+3y=-12
Now just subtract it from the other equation.
6x+3y=-12
5x+3y=-6
***x=-6***
Usually after doing the elimination method you will have to solve for x but in this case its already solved for you. If you want to find y now you just take the first equation and fill x with -6 and solve for y.
2(-6)+y=-4
-12+y=-4
y=8
Brainliest my answer if it helps you out?
I got 2.29 is the difference and debras cows made more obviously
Fraction form is 229/100
MARK ME BRAINLIEST PLEASE
We first find value of tax in dollars.
The difference between the two prices is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54
Therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54
The tax % will be (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100
(1.54 / 22) × 100 → (0.07) × 100 = 7
So the tax rate is 7%
We can double check the answer.
7 % of 22 → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54
22 + 1.54 = 23.54
14-21= -7
-7 is your answer ^^
