Answer:
140y
Step-by-step explanation:
35 times a number times -4 is 35×y×(-4) which is -140y
The percentage would be 51% but if you want to round it the answer is 50%
Answer:
51 cents for 17 inches of wire
Step-by-step explanation:
22 = 66
17 = x
22x = 66 * 17
22x = 1122
x = 51 cents
or
22 inches costs 66 cents
1 inch costs 3 cents (66 / 22 = 3 cents)
17 inches costs 51 cents (17 * 3 = 51 cents)
x = -2
y = 1
let's multiply second equation by 4 to get a common coefficient of y variable.
16x-8y=-40
add the equations
3×+8y=2
16x-8y=-40
----------------
3x+16x = -38
19x = -38
x = -2
substitute x
3×-2 + 8y = 2
-6 + 8y = 2
8y = 2+6
y = 1
check the answer
-6+8 = 2
-8-2= -20
