Answer:
$161.28288 or $161.28 if rounded
Step-by-step explanation:
first find 10% of the original cost
186.67/10 =18.667
18.667 x 2 = 37.334 (20%)
186.67 - 37.334 = 149.336
to find the tax, mulitple 149.336 x 1.08
1.08 because, 100% of the cost, plus 8% of the cost for tax
= 161.28288

Megan's solution isn't correct.
The first mistake: she subtracted 5x from the right-hand side of the equation, but added 5x to the left-hand side.
The second mistake: she divided the right-hand side of the equation by 11, but didn't divide the left-hand side.
The correct solution:
Answer:
<u>The system has two solutions:</u>
<u>x₁ = 5 ⇒ y₁ = -10</u>
<u>x₂ = -2 ⇒ y₂ = 11</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve the system of equations, this way:
y = -3x + 5
y = x ² - 6x - 5
Replacing y in the 2nd equation:
y = x ² - 6x - 5
-3x + 5 = x ² - 6x - 5
x ² - 3x - 10 = 0
Solving for x, using the quadratic formula:
(3 +/- √(9 -4 * 1 * -10))/2 * 1
(3 +/- √9 + 40)/2
(3 +/- √49)/2
(3 +/- 7)/2
x₁ = 10/2 = 5
x₂ = -4/2 = -2
x₁ = 5 ⇒ y₁ = -10
x₂ = -2 ⇒ y₂ = 11
<u>As we can see the system has two different solutions</u>

A triangle should always add up to 180 degrees. So just add up the angles you have and subtract them from 180
