Answer:
a. $3.36
b. $70.86
Step-by-step explanation:
5% of $67.50 is $3.36
$67.50 + $3.36 = $70.86
Answer:
x^b+2/b^b+2
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute the value of the variable into the equation and simplify
All you have to do is substitute the y value from the 1st equation into the second equation and solve...
a) y= 2-x
5x + 4y = 5
Substitute (2-x) into the second equation anywhere there is a y...
5x + 4y = 5
5x + 4(2-x) = 5
Now solve
5x + 8 - 4x = 5
5x - 4x + 8 = 5
x + 8 = 5
x = -3
Now that you have a solution for x, substitute -3 into either of the original equations anywhere there is an x then solve for y...
y = 2 - x
y = 2 - (-3)
y = 2+3 = 5
You solved for x and got -3 and solved for y and got 5, so your solution set is
(-3, 5).
Now check it by substituting both numbers into one of the original equations and you should have a true statement if it is correct...
y = 2 - x
5 = 2 - (-3)
5 = 2+3
5 = 5
True statement... it checks!
note* during the check, if the equation would have worked out to something like 2 = 5, then that is a false statement therefore the solution set would be wrong and you'd have to go back and find the mistake.
- Using
substitution
means you are going to solve one equation for one variable and substitute with
its value in the other equation in order to get also an equation with one
variable.
