Answer: x = -1 and y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
So if you know y = x-1 you can plug that in where y is in the first equation
-4x + 3(x-1) = -2
Distribute the 3:
-4x +3x -3 = -2
Combine like terms:
-x -3 = -2
Add 3 to both sides:
-x = 1
Multiply by -1:
X = -1
Then you plug that into the other equation to get y=(-1)-1
Which is -2
<span>You need to set up 2 equations for this, a system to be exact
let x represent the cheaper phone and y represent the upgraded phone
for store costs you will have
5x+25y=200
for selling prices you will have 30x+100y=900
set these two equations together
5x+25y=200
30x+100y=900
multiply the first one by -4 and add them
-20x-100y=-800
30x+100y=900
10x=100
x=10
10 cheaper phones, plug into any equation again
5(10)+25(y)=200
y=6<<<6 upgraded phones</span>
There is an increment of 0.4 in each term. Next will be
[1.5+0.4], [1.5+0.4+0.4]
1.9, 2.3
