12x - 8y = -12
6x + 4y = -30
Multiply the 2nd equation by 2, to make the Y coefficients opposite:
6x + 4y = -30 x 2 = 12x + 8y = -60
Now add the two equations:
12x -8y = -12 + 12x +8y = -60
= 24x = -72
Divide bothe sides by 24 to solve for x:
x = -72/24
x = -3
Now replace x with -3 in the first equation to solve for y:
12(-3) - 8y = -12
-36 - 8y = -12
Add 36 to each side:
-8y = 24
Divide both sides by -8 to solve for y:
y = 24 / -8
y = -3
X = -3 and y = -3
(-3,-3)
10% = 5
80% = 40
2% = 1
82% = 41

To write the polynomial in descending order, arrange the terms from the highest to the lowest degree. Simply base on the exponents of the variable x. You have 3, 12, 1 and 7. In descending order, that would be: 12, 7, 3 and then 1. The answer is D.
52 minutes 30 seconds
Take 60 minutes divide it by 8 to figure out what 1/8 of an hour is.
Then multiply our answer by 7 to find out how many minutes are in 7/8 of an hour.
