Convert to Y=MX+B to make it easier, minus 2x from both sides to get -7y=-2x+14, then divide it all by -7 to get y=2/7x-2. 2 equals your starting point, from there go down 2 and over 7 for you slope and repeat until the graph is done.
Triangle JKL has a base that is 1 unit long
Triangle J'K'L' has a base that is 3 units long
3 units / 1 unit = 3
The scale factor is 3.
We are given with two equations to find the values of two variables, hence the problem can be solved.
Adding the two equations:
x + y = 12<u>x - y = 10
</u>2x = 22
<u />x =11
y = 1
Okay, so the equations would be:
x + 3y = 24
3y + 5x = 36
Imma use Substitution to solve this:
x = -3y + 24
3y + 5(-3y + 24) = 36
3y - 15y + 120 = 36
-12y + 120 = 36
-12y = -84
y = 7
x = -3(7) + 24
x = -21 + 24
x = 3
So the first number (x) would be 3 and the second number (y) would be 7.
To find 86% of 50, you do 50*.86 (because .86 is the decimal form of the percentage 86%)
50*.86=43 people
Hope this helps
