Answer:

x = 3/2

y = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4

x = y - 1

substitute y - 1 in for x in the first equation, to find y

y - 1 + y = 4

2y - 1 = 4

add 1 on both sides

2y - 1 = 4

+1 +1

2y = 5

divide by 2 on both sides

2y/2 = 5/2

y = 5/2

subtitute y in for the second equation, to find x

x = 5/2 - 1

x = 5/2 - 2/2

x = 3/2

so x = 3/2 and y = 5/2

to double check, plug x and y in the first equation

3/2 + 5/2 = 4

8/2 = 4

4 = 4

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

For item 2:

The Net Price Rate = 276 / 460 = 0.60 = 60 % (answer).

Item 3: Net Price Rate = 3247 * 100 / 3820 = 85% (answer).

Item 4 Net Price Rate = 675.11 / * 100 / 987 = 68.4%. (answer).

Item 5 Item's Net Price = 987 * 0.675 = $666.23 (answer).

Item 7 Net price Rate = 2945* 100 / 4750 = 62%. (answer).

Item 8: First find the list place $x:

0.90* 0.80 * 0.70x = 252 ( the 0.90 , 0.80 and 0.70 come from 100 - 10% = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90 and so on)

0.504 x = 252

x = $500

Answer is List Price = $500 and Net Price Rate = 50.4%.

Item 10 List price = 2890.65 / 0.35 = $8259. (answer)

How to find rationalizing factor of <br><br>class 9

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

$\sqrt[5]{a^{3} b^{2}c}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rationalization factor of $\sqrt[5]{a^2 b^3 c^4}$

$= \sqrt[5]{a^{5-2} b^{5-3}c^{5-4}}\\= \sqrt[5]{a^{3} b^{2}c^{1}}\\= \sqrt[5]{a^{3} b^{2}c}\\$

50 cases in 44 minutes equals how many cases in 60 minutes

Blizzard [7]

To solve this, set up a proportion, crossmultiply, and solve for x.

Let x = the unknown amount of cases in 60 minutes.

$\frac{50}{44} = \frac{x}{60}$
44x = 50(60)
44x = 3000

Divide both sides by 44 to isolate variable x
x = 3000 / 44
x ≈ 68.1818 (the 18s repeat forever)

Rounding to the closest case and assuming the rate stays constant, you would get approximately 68 cases in 60 minutes. If you need not round to the nearest case, you would get approximately 68.18 cases in 60 minutes.
