Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu. Consider this system of linear equations:
y- x= -13
-4x + 3y = -51
The solution of the system of equations is
Reset
Next

y - x= - 13   (1)

- 4x + 3y = -51 (2)

(1) => y = - 13 + x

Substitute y in (2)

- 4x + 3( - 13 + x) = -51

- 4x - 39 + 3x = -51

- x = -51 + 39

- x = -12

x = 12

Substitute x in (1)

y = - 13 + x = -13 + 12 = - 1

x = 12, y = -1

wholesale price is the initial price before markup. retail price comes after the markup.

a price of 8 bucks that's marked up by 100%   is

formula: initial price + (percent markup in fraction/decimal)(initial price)

8+(1)(8)

8+8

16

retail price is $16.
