Since you need an isolated variable to use the substitution method, we need to re-arrange one of the equations. This will probably be easiest to do with the first one.
Add 5y to both sides of the first equation.
x=10+5y
Now, in the second equation, put in 10+5y in any spot that has an x.
2(10+5y)-10y=20
Distribute the 2 to both numbers in the parenthesis.
20+10y-10y=20
Combine like terms.
20=20
This means that the two equations are actually the same. You can see this if you multiply the whole first equation by 2
2(x-5y=10)
2x-10y=20, which is the same as the second equation. Therefore, the two equations are actually the same one.
Enrolement increased by 30% that means last year=100%
incease of 30%=30+100=130% now
now=182
percent means parts out of 100 so
130%=130/100=13/10
182=13/10 of x (x represents the number last year)
of means multipy so
182=13/10 times x
multiply both sides by 10/13 to clear fraction
182 times 10/13=x=140

Answer:
$21
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be easily solved by fraction 400/24=350/x
x=$21
Answer:
A- 16 songs a day
B- 32 songs in the weekend
Step-by-step explanation:
A- if she songs "jingle bells" 5 times, the sings"silver bells" twice as many times, that would just be like multiplying 5 x 2, which equals 10, then add the 5 times she sings jingle bells, that would be 15. then she sings "silent night" one time which adds on to the other songs to get 16 songs a day
B- the weekend has 2 days in it so you would just multiply 16 x 2 which gives you 32
