-7 - 12 = -1(7 + 12) = -1(19) = -19
Your answer is A.
We are given the equations 3x+5y=-3 and x-5y=-5.
Both equations have a 5y term which allows us to easily solve the system by elimination. To do so we will add the equations together like a simple addition problem by adding the x terms together, the y terms together, and the integer answers together.
3x + 5y = -3
+x - 5y = -5
---------------
4x + 0y = -8
The y terms cancel out since one is positive and one is negative. Now we can solve for x.
4x = -8

x = -2
Now plug -2 in for x in one of the original equations to find y.
(-2) - 5y = -5
-5y = -3
y = 3/5
Our answer as an ordered pair is (2, 3/5)
3/4…
To simplify a fraction, you have to find a similar factor between the numerator and denominator. In this case, it would be 4.
You would divide both numbers by this common factor and create a new fraction.
So… 9/3=3, and 12/3=4. When combined, the answer becomes 3/4.
Answer:
D) 3.28
Step-by-step explanation:
820/x=100/2.5
(820/x)*x=(100/2.5)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
820=40*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (40) to get x
820/40=x
20.5=x
x=20.5
now we have:
2.5% of 820=20.5
