Answer:
y = -2x + 8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The number in the ones place= X
The number in the tenths place= y
y+x=14.
y=14-x
Original placement of numbers=10y+x
New placement of numbers(after subtraction of 36)= 10x+y
10y+ x-36=10x+y
Substitute y with 14-x
So we would get
10(14-x)+ x-36=10x+(14-x)
=140-10x+x-36=10x+14-x
After transposing we get
140-14-36=10x-x+10x-x
=90=18x
X=90/18
x=5
Y=14-x
=14-5
=9
So the two digit number is
10y+x
=90+5
=95
We can convert that into a fraction of 100 for the percentage.
4/20= 20/100
(multiply both by 5)
So, the basketball player makes 20% of the throws.
I hope this helps!

The expression of the mathematical statement given as "Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago" is x = 4 * (x - 15)
<h3>How to rewrite the statement as an expression?</h3>
The mathematical statement is given as
Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago
From the statement, we have:
x represent Juan's current age
This means that his age 15 years ago is
15 years ago = x - 15
4 times his age 15 years ago is
4 * 15 years ago = 4 * (x - 15)
The above equation is equivalent to his current age
So, we have
x = 4 * (x - 15)
Hence, the expression of the mathematical statement given as "Jaun's age, x, is 4 times his age 15 years ago" is x = 4 * (x - 15)
