Answer:

  • Shirt costs $10.50, pants cost $27

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Set equations as follows</h3>
  • 3s + 2p = 85.5
  • 4s + 3p = 123
<h3>Solve the system by elimination</h3>

Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second one by 3 and subtract equations

  • 4(3s + 2p) - 3(4s + 3p) = 4(85.5) - 3(123)
  • 12s + 8p - 12s - 9p = 342 - 369
  • - p = - 27
  • p = 27

Find the value of s

  • 3s + 2*27 = 85.5
  • 3s + 54 = 85.5
  • 3s = 85.5 - 54
  • 3s = 31.5
  • s = 31.5/3
  • s = 10.5

Sam read 20% of the book on Monday and 0.2 of the book on Tuesday. If he read 50% of the remainder on Wednesday and still had 36
KonstantinChe [14]
Okay first you need to convert 0.2 to a percentage which would be 20% then 20% + 20% = 40% then it says he read 50%, 50% of 36 means that you have to multiply 36 two times to get, 72 then you do 72 * 40% = 28.8 = 29 + 72 = 101 pages in all then 101- 40%= 60.6 is how many pages were read on Monday and Tuesday.

X+y+z=1
andrezito [222]

Answer: x = 0

y = 2

z = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations are

x+y+z=1 - - - - - - - - - - 1

-2x+4y+6z=2 - - - - - - - - - 2

-x+3y-5z=11 - - - - - - - - - 3

Step 1

We would eliminate x by adding equation 1 to equation 3. It becomes

4y -4z = 12 - - - - - - - - - 4

Step 2

We would multiply equation 1 by 2. It becomes

2x + 2y + 2z = 2 - - - - - - - - - 5

We would add equation 2 and equation 5. It becomes

6y + 8z = 4 - - - - - - - - - 6

Step 3

We would multiply equation 4 by 6 and equation 6 by 4. It becomes

24y - 24z = 72 - - - - - - - - 7

24y + 32z = 16 - - - - - - - - 8

We would subtract equation 8 from equation 7. It becomes

-56z = 56

z = -56/56 = -1

Substituting z = -1 into 7, it becomes

24y - 24×-1 = 72

24y + 24 = 72

24y = 72 - 24 = 48

y = 48/24 = 2

Substituting y = 2 and z = -1 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 2 - 1 = 1

x = 1 - 1 = 0

Lou’s Shoes is having its annual Flag Day Sale and is offering a 25% discount on all regularly priced shoes. Kayla spends $13.50
patriot [66]
The easiest way to think of these is to put them in terms of percentages.  Obviously, if you are SAVING 25%, you are SPENDING 75%.  So if she SPENDS 13.50, we can easily use the 75% in an equation. $13.50 = .75x, with x being what the shoes cost originally.  The .75 indicates that she is spending 75% of what the original cost is. You don't have any examples to pick from, but this is the best way to explain what one of the equations could be.  You could also base it on money saved, but the equation is not quite as neat.
