Answer:
The answer to your question is:
x = -10; y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve equations by elimination method
2x + 3y = 4 (1)
x + 2y = 6 (2)
Multiply 2 by -2
2x + 3y = 4
-2x - 4y = -12
-y = -8
y = 8
Substitute y in (2)
x + 2(8) = 6
x = 6 - 16
x = -10
So 45% OF 40 is
45% * 40
0.45 * 40
that is 18
18 is 18% of what number?
18 = 18% * x
18 = 0.18 * x
divide both sides by 0.18
100 = x
45 % of 40, which is 18, and is 18% of 100.
Hope this helps
