Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the larger number.

Let y be the smaller number.

x - y = 5

x^2 - y^2 = 65                   Factor the left.

(x - y)(x + y) = 65               Substitute the first equation into this equation.

5 *(x + y) = 65                   Divide both sides by 5

x + y = 65/5

x + y = 13

Now list the two binomials one after the other.

x + y = 13

x - y =  5                           Add

2x = 18                             Divide by 2

2x/2 = 18/2

x = 9

x + y = 13                          Substitute 9 for x

9 + y = 13                          Subtract 9 from both sides.

y =  13 - 9

y = 4

Answer

  • <em>x = 9</em>
  • <em>y = 4 </em>

The $414 price charges a store for a small refrigerator consists of the refrigerator's original cost to the store plus a profit
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

<h2>$351.9</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is not formatted well

<em>A store charges $414 for a small refrigerator, the price consists of the refrigerator's original cost to the store plus a profit 15% what was the refrigerator's original cost to the store?</em>

Step one:

given data

we are told that the price of the small refrigerator contains both the original price and 15% profit

mathematically

$414= original price + 15% profit

Step two:

let us solve for 15% of 414

=(15/100)*414

=0.15*414

=$62.1

This shows that the profit is $62.1

let the original price be x

$414= x + 62.1

solve for x

x=414-62.1

x=351.9

<u>The refrigerator's original cost to the store $351.9</u>
