Answer:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5y - 10 = 0
X = 4y - 8
since x is given as = 4y - 8 we can use this in first equation
replace x with 4y - 8
x + 5y - 10 = 0 ➡ 4y - 8 + 5y - 10 = 0 add like terms
9y - 18 = 0 add 18 to both sides of the equation
9y = 18 divide both sides by 9
y = 2
Flip the bottom part after the "/" so you get ((x+3)/9)*(6/(x+12)) Cancel and multiply to get 2(x+3)/3(x+12) this is as simplified as it is going to get.
This polynomial cannot be factored because it is prime. Hope this helps. :)
Decrease = (original number - new number) / original number .....x 100
decrease = (49 - 22) / 49.....* 100 =
(27 / 49) * 100 =
2700 / 49 = 55% decrease
Add them all up to get it
