Answer:
The price Mr. Randall paid = 4 * (20-5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -4 , y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 7y = -41 ... (i)
-3x - 5y = -3 ... (ii)
Multiplying (i) by -3 and (ii) by 5 ;
-15x + 21y = 123 ... (i)
-15x - 25y = -15 ... (ii)
Subtracting (i) by (ii) ;
0 + 46y = 138
46y = 138
y = 138 ÷ 46 = 3
Returning to equation (ii) ;
-3x - 5(3) = -3
-3x = -3 + 15
-3x = 12
x = -4
The answer is £150.
This could be calculated using proportion. If £1 is €1.2, how many £ is €180:
£1 : €1.2 = x : <span>€180
</span>x = £1 ÷ €1.2 × <span>€180</span>
x = £150
