Answer: (-20,-4)
First, you substitute y into the first equation to get 0.01x - 0.3(0.1x - 2) = 1
You then distribute the 0.3 to what is inside the parentheses to get 0.01x-0.03x+0.6=1
(Note: the 0.6 is positive because two negatives multiplied equal a positive)
Now you combine like terms to get -0.02x+0.6=1
Subtract 0.6 from both sides of the equal sign to get -0.02x=0.4
Divide each side by -0.02 to get x=-20
Now plug in -20 to y=0.1x-2 to get y=-4
This gives you the answer (-20,-4)
A non zero real number could be written as a/1.
When this gets reversed to be 1/a, it is the multiplicative inverse.
1:3 is the ratio to boys and girls. I know that 1/4 must be girls. 3/4 will be boys.
Divide 236 by 4.
236/4= 59
Multiply that by 3.
59*3= 177
177 of the students are boys.
I hope this helps!

In the top the "f(x)" equals 9, now they are asking you to add onto the 9 by 1 causing it to be 10. If you did the first few you would have noticed that it takes 9 in order to get to 5 from -4.
here are the answers btw:
