Answer:

40%

Step-by-step explanation:

Finley's pumpkin had a mass of 6.5 kg before he carved it.

After carving it, the pumpkin had a mass of 3.9 kg.

Now, we are asked to determine the % decrease in the mass of the pumpkin.

Therefore, the % decrease in mass is given by  

\frac{\textrm {Initial Mass - Final Mass}}{\textrm {Initial Mass}} \times 100= \frac{6.5 - 3.9}{6.5} \times 100 = 40%. (Answer)

Solve the system of equations by substitution <br><br> y = 2x + 1 and 3x + y = 16
Luden [163]

Answer:  y=7,x=3

Steps:

y = 2x + 1

3x + y = 16

Substitute y = 2x + 1

3x + 2x + 1 = 16

Simplify

5x+1=16

Isolate x for 5x + 1 = 16: x = 3

For y = 2x + 1

Substitute x = 3

y = 2 · 3 + 1

Simplify

y = 7

The solutions to the system of equations are:

y = 7, x = 3
