Solution:

<u>We know the following:</u>

  • A student used a 30% coupon on a jacket
  • The cost was $67.34 after the coupon was used.

<u>Thus, the equation created:</u>

  • 67.34 + 30(Original price)/100 = Original price

Let's represent the original price as x. Then:

  • 67.34 + 30(x)/100 = x

<u>Subtract 30x/100 both sides.</u>

  • 67.34 + 30(x)/100 - 30(x)/100 = x - 30x/100
  • => 67.34 = x - 30x/100

<u>Change x to 100x/100.</u>

  • => 67.34 = 100x/100 - 30x/100

<u>Simplify the RHS:</u>

  • => 67.34 = 70x/100

<u>Use cross multiplication.</u>

  • => 6734 = 70x

<u>Divide 70 both sides.</u>

  • => x = 6734/70 = $96.2 (Original price)

Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the linear system. (-4,-6); -3x+y=6, -2x+y=-8
harkovskaia [24]
Plug them in... -4=x -5=y

-3x-4+-6=6 (check)
-3x-4=12-6=6 (ordered pair works with this equation)

-2x-4+-6=-8 (check)
-2x-4=8-6=2 (ordered pair does not work with this equation)

Therefore the ordered pair IS NOT the solution.

Hope this helps :)
