Jesse wants to buy a guitar that cost $2000 however he cannot afford the full payment and in order to take you home he needs to leave a 12% down payment how much does Jessie need to pay to take the guitar home

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that the cost of the guitar is $2000

and that 12% of the cost must be paid for Jesse to take the guitar home.

Hence we aim to know what 12% of $2000 is

Step two:

The expression is

=12/100*2000

=0.12*2000

=240

This means that Jesse must pay $240 before he can take the guitar home

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

x = 3 ± √(5+y)
