Answer:

use the combination method

Step-by-step explanation:

     x - 2y = -13

+ 5 x + 2y = -17


since 2y is in both equations you cancel them out.


5x + x = 6x    

-2y + 2y = 0

-13 + (-17) = -30

put it back into the equation

6x + 0 = -30 or 6x = -30

6x ÷ 6 = x

-30 ÷ 6 = -5

x = -5

then plug into the equation x - 2y = -13 and 5x + 2y = -17


-5 - 2y = -13

-13 + 5 = -8

-2y = -8

y = 4


x = -5 and y = 4

balu736 [363]

Answer:

42%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the difference in the number of fishes from the beginning of the day to the end of the day.

90 -52

= 38 fishes

Therefore the percent decrease can be calculated as follows

= 38/90 × 100

= 0.422 × 100

= 42.2 %

= 42% ( to the nearest cent)
