Hi!

We can set up a proportion then cross multiply to solve this.

\frac{45}{x}  \frac{18}{100}

45 x 100 = 4500
4500/18 = 250

The answer is 250

Hope this helps! :)

Hey there! :)

Answer:

(5, -2), or x = 5 and y = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the two equations algebraically by eliminating a variable:

2x + 5y = 0

3x - 4y = 23

Eliminate the x variable by finding the least common multiple and multiplying both equations:

3(2x + 5y = 0)

2(3x - 4y = 23)

Distribute and subtract the bottom equation from the top:

6x + 15y = 0

6x - 8y = 46

------------------

0x + 23y = -46

23y = -46

y = -2.

Plug in y into an equation to solve for x:

2x + 5(-2) = 0

2x - 10 = 0

2x = 10

x = 5. Therefore:

The solution to this equation is (5, -2), or x = 5 and y = -2.

I need to sketch a graph for each line.<br> y = 4x-5<br><br> How would I solve and graph this
PtichkaEL [24]
So you need to find the slope and the y- intercept. So, the slope is always the coefficient on the x. In this case it is 4. The y-intercept is the other number. In this case it is -5. So the slope is 4 and the y-intercept is -5. On your graph (the y axis) find -5. Then you go up 4 and to the right 1 because of four were a fraction it would be 4/1. Keep going up four and right one a couple times. Then reverse it. Go down 4 left 1. That as a fraction would look like -4/-1. Then connect your points and make it a line!
