Answer:
$243.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use algebra here.
Let x = the original price.
Then 1/3 x - 27 = 54
1/3x = 54 + 27 = 81
x = 81 / 1/3
x = 81 * 3
x = $243 (answer).
You add two equations together to eliminate a variable. This particular problem is nice, because it's already setup to eliminate X.
3x - 4y = 9
<span>-3x + 2y = 9
</span>
When we add these two together, 3x - 3x cancels each other out, leaving us with 0x, or nothing.
We continue with -4y + 2y (leaves us with -2y) and 9+9 (18).
-2y = 18
18/-2 = -9.
Now we have y = -9, and we can go back into the problems to solve for x.
<span>3x - 4(-9) = 9
</span>
3x + 36 = 9.
3x = -27
x = -9.
Confirm with the final equation:
-3(-9) + 2(-9) = 9
27 - 18 = 9
9 = 9 --- Confirmed.

Step-by-step explanation:
You would start out at in the middle of a number line (horizontal). After the first play, you would move to the left on the line 5 spots (to simulate 5 yards lost) and then make a dot to show your new position. You would do the same thing for the next two plays, moving 5 spots to the left each play and creating a new starting point each time. The total spots moved after the 3 plays is 15 spots to the left.
