So here you first want to open up the parenthesis by using the distributive property. (Is that what it's called)

So basically multiply each and every number by 0.5.

So 0.5 * -2.5x - 0.5 * 4.7 = 16.9

Is what you get after doing that.

And then just multiply the numbers

So

-1.25 * x - 2.35 = 16.9

Add 2.35 to both sides

-1.25 * x = 19.25

And then divide both sides by -1.25 to get

x = - 15.4

So there's your answer.

(Sorry I took so long btw)

Let's add the percentage of the processing new books and repairing bindings.

6%+9%= 15%

We need to find how many times that goes into 44%

15%*3= 45

It is about 3 times more than she will spend processing new books and be repairing bindings.

I hope this helps!

Given the linear system:
azamat

Answer:

y=x+1/2z+-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for y.

2x−2y+z=1

Step 1: Add -2x to both sides.

2x−2y+z+−2x=1+−2x

−2y+z=−2x+1

Step 2: Add -z to both sides.

−2y+z+−z=−2x+1+−z

−2y=−2x−z+1

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

-2y/-2 = -2-z+1/-2

y=x +1/2z+-1/2
