<span>There is a decrease of 20% from ÂŁ800 to ÂŁ640.
A change from 800 to 640 represents a negative change (decrease) of -20% Using the formula :
Percent change = [(800 - 640) / 800] x 100 = -20 % (decrease)
800 is the old value and 640 is the new value. In this case we have a negative change (decrease) of -20 percent because the new value is smaller than the old value.</span>
Answer:
Hi There the correct answer is {x,y} = {-1,-10}
System of Linear Equations entered :
[1] 3x - y = 7
[2] 4x - 2y = 16
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
y + 3x = 7 -2y + 4x = 16
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] y = 3x - 7
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]
[2] 4x - 2•(3x-7) = 16
[2] -2x = 2
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] 2x = - 2
[2] x = - 1
// By now we know this much :
x = -1
y = 3x-7
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = 3(-1)-7 = -10
Solution :
{x,y} = {-1,-10}
Hope it helps!
