Hope this helps you out :D
It’s 2 equations so in order to solve the previous system, you can use different methods, as for example substitution or addition of equations. In this case, you use the second one, due to the fact you have 7x in one equation and -7x in the other equation. In this way you can easily eliminate variable x and then solve for y. With the value of y you can replace in any of the two equations and solve for x.
7x-y=-1
-7x+3y=-25
Summarizing, you proceed as follow:
- add up the given equations
7x - y = -1
-7x+3y=-25
——————
0 +2y=-26
- solve for y in the previous equation
2y=-26
y=-26/2
y=-13
- replace the obtained value of y in one of the given equations, and solve for x
7x-(-13)=-1
7x+13=-1
7x=-1-13
7x=-14
x=-14
x=-14/7
x=-2
Hence, the solution of the given systems of equation is:
X=-2
Y=-13
I think it is 20 seconds because when you multiply six times x, you get twelve. And in this case, the x equals two. So, because you multiplied two to six, you do the same thing to the ten seconds, which is twenty. Sorry if this is the wrong answer.
The state sales tax in Colorado is 2.9%.
We know that because we divide 2.32/80. We have to find out what percent the tax is of the amount paid. The answer comes to 0.029. Multiply it by 100, and you get 2.9%
