Answer: (-2, 8)
Explanation:
Plug x = -2 into the second equation. Isolate y.
5x+3y = 14
5(-2)+3y = 14
-10+3y = 14
3y = 14+10
3y = 24
y = 24/3
y = 8
We have x = -2 lead to y = 8.
Therefore, the ordered pair (x,y) = (-2,8) is the solution to this system.
If it is 40% off, it is selling at 60% of it original price.
The sales price is $48
60% = 58
1% = 58 ÷ 60 = 0.93
100% = 0.93 x 100 = $93
The original price is $93
Answer:
It seems that your options aren't correct as the right answer is -5.3333... (recurring)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 2x + 4 = 20 + 5x (subtract by the smallest unknown)
-2x -2x
2) 4 = 20 + 3x
-20 -20 (now subtract each side by 20 as we want to leave the unknown on one side and another number on the other side.
3) -16 = 3x (Divide each side by 3)
÷3 = ÷3
4) -5.33333... = x
<h3>Now we have found x but if you're unsure you can substitute to see if your answer is correct.</h3><h3>2 x -5.3333 + 4 = -6.6666</h3><h3>20 + 5 x -5.3333= -6.6665</h3><h3>Our answer is correct! (When answers are rounded, it is equal to the same thing).</h3>
