I'm assuming that this is applying to the linear dimensions. Let's say the paper is 10 inches by 10 inches

The new paper will be 13 inches by 13 inches since 
30% of 10 = 0.3*10 = 3, and we add on 3 to 10 to get 13
Another way to see it: 130% of 10 = 1.3*10 = 13

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

Now decrease the paper by 30%
30% of 13 = 0.3*13 = 3.9
13 - 3.9 = 9.1
This is the same as saying 70% of 13 = 0.7*13 = 9.1

The paper is now 9.1 inches by 9.1 inches

As you can see, the paper has not been restored to its original size (10 by 10). The reason why is because 30% of a larger number leads to a bigger decrease than expected.

Consider the following pair of equations:
V125BC [204]
The pair of equations:
y = x + 4
y = -2x - 2

To solve the system of equation by substitution, you would substitute one variable for it's equivalent expression. Combining the pair of equations into one equation in only one variable. The easiest way to do this is by substituting out the variable y because it is already alone on one side of the equal sign. Substitute the y in the second equation for: x+4

x+4 = -2x - 2
solve for x
x + 2x = -2 -4
3x = -6
x = -2

now use the value for x to find y by putting into either equation.

y = x + 4
y = (-2) + 4
y = 2

solution is: (-2, 2)
