Use the linear combination method to solve this system of equations. What is the value of x? Negative 2.4 x minus 3.6 y = 1.2. 2.4 x + 1.2 y = 1.2.

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve the equations for x

-2.4x-3.6y = 1.2

2.4x + 1.2y = 1.2

Add the two equations

-2.4y = 2.4

y = 2.4/-2.4

y = -1

To get x, simply substitute the y-value into any of the equations;

2.4x + 1.2y = 1.2

2.4x + 1.2(-1) = 1.2

2.4x -1.2 = 1.2

2.4x = 1.2 + 1.2

2.4x = 2.4

x = 2.4/2.4

x = 1

step-by-step explanation:

calculate the scale factor as the ratio of corresponding sides, image to original, that is

scale factor = = = = 1

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300
