Answer:
y = 3
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=5 == -2x - 2y = -10
2x-y = 1 == 2x - y = 1 +
-------------------
-3y = -9
<u>y = 3</u>
x + y = 5
x + 3 = 5
<u>x = 2</u>
Total pay before deductions is gross pay <==
total pay after deductions is net pay
The first step to solving this is to multiply both sides of the equation by 3
8 + 10y = 9y - 12
now move the variable to the left side and change its sign
8 + 10y - 9y = -12
move the constant to the right side and change its sign
10y - 9y = -12 - 8
collect the like terms for y
y = -12 - 8 (it equals 1 when you subtract 10 from 9 which is the same is simply saying "y")
calculate the difference on the other side of the equals sign
y = -20
this means that the correct answer to your question is -20.

Answer:
There was a 25% increase.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
Since the lines goes through the point (0,0) the graph is proportional. We can find the rate of change by take the price of corn and dividing by the number of bushels
24/3 = 8 dollars/ bushel
Part B
Previous Year Number of Bushels Price of Corn (dollars)
3 21
6 42
9 63
12 84
We can find the rate of change for the previous year by using the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (84-63)/(12-9)
=21 / 3
= 7
The previous year was 7 dollars per bushel
The increase was 8-7 = 1 dollar per bushel
