PLUG in the numbers
4.5=500 x R x 2.5
divide both sides by 500
0.009=R x 2.5
divide 2.2 to both sides
R=.0036
In percent you have to multiply by 100 which is 0.36%
X-16=-8
Add 16 on both sides
x=-8+16
And solve; your answer will be
x=8
X + y = 10
x - y = 2
add the equations together
2x = 12
x = 6
6 + y = 10
y = 3
