Answer:
B, $35.20
Step-by-step explanation:
32 increase 10% =
32 × (1 + 10%) = 32 × (1 + 0.1) = 35.2
The number is read as three-hundred twenty four thousand nine-hundred four
Just plot it and you get something like this ...
The idea here is to combine the equations into one in only one variable. The last equation is in only x and z so lets sub out y in the second.
-x - y - z = -8
8 - x - z = y
Substitute y with (8 - x - z) into the next equation.
-4x + 4(8 - x - z) + 5z = 7
-4x + 32 - 4x - 4z + 5z = 7
-8x + 32 + z = 7
The variable z is easiest to get alone; use that as substitution in the last equation.
z = 7 + 8x - 32
z = 8x - 25
Substitute z with (8x - 25)
2x + 2(8x - 25) = 4
2x + 16x - 50 = 4
18x = 4 + 50
18x = 54
x = 3
So use x = 3 in that last equation to find z.
2(3) + 2z = 4
6 + 2z = 4
2z = 4 - 6
2z = -2
z = -1
Now, use both x = 3 and z = -1 to find the final variable y.
-3 - y - (-1) = -8
-3 - y + 1 = -8
-2 - y = -8
-y = -8 + 2
-y = -6
y = 6
Solutions x,y,z = ( 3, 6, -1)
