Answer:

<h2>C. There are an infinite number of solutions.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-4y=-8\\-3x+12y=24&\text{divide both sides by 3}\end{array}\right\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-4y=-8\\-x+4y=8\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad\qquad0=0\qquad\bold{TRUE}$

It should be C
Because when u multiply ( -3)*(x-4y= -8)

It’ll equal to -3x+12y=24 which is the same equation to the other one.
When the equations r the same, it means everything on the line is the solution for this system of equation.

grigory [225]

Answer:

Doug sold 100 sandwiches in his neighborhood.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for percentage you have to first find the percentage's decimal. To find this you have to the move the decimal point up to places. This makes 80 into 0.8. After you do this you will mutiply that but the total amount. So 125 times 0.8. Once you do this you should get 100. This means that Doug sold 100 sandwiches in his neighborhood.
