3x + y = 17 4x - y = 18

Inessa05 [86]

The two equations given are
3x + y = 17 and 4x - y = 18
Now we will first take one equation
3x + y = 17
Then
y = 17 - 3x
Now replacing the value of y in the second equation we get
4x - y = 18
4x - (17 - 3x) = 18
4x + 3x - 17 = 18
7x = 35
x = 35/7
= 5
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
3x + y = 17
(3 * 5) + y = 17
15 + y = 17
y = 17 - 15
y = 2
So the value of x is 5 and y is 2

%of 25 is 14. what percent of 20 is 11? 15 is

ikadub [295]

The first question:

'is' in mathematics means equal
'of' in mathematics means multiplication

$\frac{x}{100} \times 25 = 14\\\\\frac{x}{4} = 14\\\\\boxed{\bf{x=56}}$

56% of 25 is 14.

And the second question:

'is' in mathematics means equal
'of' in mathematics means multiplication

$\frac{x}{100} \times 20 = 11\\\\\frac{x}{5} = 11\\\\\boxed{\bf{x = 55}}$

55% of 20 is 11.
