cannot decide which of two washing machines to buy. The selling price of each is $. The first is marked down by %. The second is marked down by % with an additional % off. Find the sale price of each washing machine. Use pencil and paper. Explain why should buy the first washing machine rather than the second if the machines are the same except for the selling price.

so what is the question

step-by-step explanation:

y=20x

step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

- x + y = - 2 → (1)

2x - 3y = 4 → (2)

multiplying (1) by 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate the x- term

- 2x + 2y = - 4 → (3)

add (2) and (3) term by term

(2x - 2x) + (- 3y + 2y) = (4 - 4), simplifying gives

- y = 0 ⇒ y = 0

substitute y = 0 in either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of x

substituting in (2) gives

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

solution is (2, 0 ) → a
