If increasing 15 by n% is equivalent to decreasing 75 by n%, then what is 6% of n?

1 answer:

4 0

15(1 + n/100) = 75(1 - n/100)
15 + 0.15n = 75 - 0.75n
0.15n + 0.75n = 75 - 15
0.9n = 60
n = 60/0.9 = 66 2/3%

6% of n = 0.06 x 66 2/3 = 4

I think eight because if you add those days together they will play again in eight days so that they play on the same day.

Sorry if I got it wrong I tried and that's what counts, right?

Y=6x-11 -2x-3y=-7 solve each system of equation by substitution

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

(2, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 6x - 11 → (1)

- 2x - 3y = - 7 → (2)

Substitute y = 6x - 11 into (2)

- 2x - 3(6x - 11) = - 7 ← distribute and simplify left side

- 2x - 18x + 33 = - 7

- 20x + 33 = - 7 ( subtract 33 from both sides )

- 20x = - 40 ( divide both sides by - 20 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into (1) for corresponding value of y

y = 6(2) - 11 = 12 - 11 = 1

Solution is (2, 1 )
