Solve system of equation using elimination

1 answer:

6 0

First let's get rid of the x by multiplying the tip equation by -2

-2 (-6x - 2y = -4)
+
(-12x - 5y = -13)

Distribute

(12x + 4y = 8)
+
(-12x - 5y = -13)

x cancels out and you're left with

-1y = -5
y = 5

Now solving for x, plug in your y into one of the equations

-6x - 2(5) = -4
-6x - 10 = -4
-6x = 6
x = -1

(-1 , 5) is the solution

Sara missed 7 of 184 school days this year. Approximately what percent of school days was Sara present?

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

B. 96%

Step-by-step explanation:

Sara only missed 7 days of 184 days this year meaning 184 - 7 = 177 and

177 is how many days she attended school, so to figure out percentage take the number of days she attended school and divide by the total amount of days in this year which is 184: 177/184 = 0.96195652173

then multiply by 100 to get percentage so approximately 96%.
