Let the price of 1 shirt be represented by = s
A pair of pants costs twice as much as a shirt, then the cost of pants is = 2s
The total cost of 1 pair of pants and 1 shirt is $18 , means : 
Solving this we get,
So, the price of 1 shirt is $6 and price of 1 pair of pants is = 2s = 2*6 = $12.
Answer:
23400 x 8/100 = 1872 = the loss
1872 : 12 = 156= the loss each month
156/1872*100% = 8.33 % then round it
To answer this kind of question, you need to insert the first equation into second equation or vice versa. The equation from the question should be:
1. 3 paperback books + 5 hardcover book = $80.10
2. 7 paperback books + 4 hardcover book= $100.65
It would be easier to convert the 1st equation into
5 hardcover book = $80.10- 3 paperback books
hardcover book= $16.02- 0.6 paperback books
Then insert it to 2nd equation:
7 paperback books + 4 ($16.02- 0.6 paperback books)= $100.65
7 paperback books + $64.08- 2.4 paperback books= $100.65
4.6 paperback books = $100.65- $64.08= $36.57
paperback book= $7.95
Insert paperback book price to the first equation to find the hardcover book price
3 paperback books + 5 hardcover book = $80.10
3 ($7.95)+ 5 hardcover book = $80.10
5 hardcover book = $80.10 - $23.85= $56.25
hardcover book = $11.25
Then one paperback and one hardcoverbook= $7.95 + $11.25= $19.20
Answer:
97/40
Step-by-step explanation:
so 2.125= 17/8
3/10+17/8 need to find common denominator so
times 8/8 to 3/10
times 10/10 to 17/8
24/80+170/80= 194/80 (common denominator so can add)
divide 194/80 because want reduce form
97/40 is the answer
(When i look at it now i can just time 4/4 and 5/5 but its ok this still gets the answer)

Answer:
(a) x - y + 1 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to address multiple-choice questions is to try the answers to see what works.
For the lower left point (1, 2), the answer choices shown give ...
x -y +1 = 1 -2 +1 = 0 . . . . . equation works
-x -y +1 = -1 -2 +1 = -2 . . . doesn't work
y -x +1 = 2 -1 +1 = 2 . . . . . doesn't work
The appropriate choice is ...
x - y + 1 = 0
