Answer:

The solution would be (-19, 40)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this system by substitution, simply take the value of y in the first equation and use it in place of y in the second. This will allow you to solve for x.

5x + 2y = 15

5x + 2(-3x - 2) = 15

5x - 6x - 4 = 15

-x - 4 = 15

-x = 19

x = -19

Now that we have the value of x, we can find the value of y.

y = -3x - 3

y = -3(-19) - 3

y = 43 - 3

y = 40

in 2014 the attendance at jefferson schools fall festival was 650 in 2015 the attendance was 575 what was the percent change

Gnoma [55]

There was 11.54% decrease in attendance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Attendance in 2014 = Old value = 650

Attendance in 2015 = New value = 575

Change = New value - Old value

Change = 575 - 650 = -75

The negative sign indicates a decrease in attendance.

Decrease percentage = $\frac{Change}{Old\ value}*100$

$Decrease\ percent=\frac{75}{650}*100\\\\Decrease\ percent=\frac{7500}{650}\\\\Decrease\ percent=11.538\%$

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

Decrease percent = 11.54%

There was 11.54% decrease in attendance.

Lynna [10]

(2x+4)+(4x+2)+(2x-1)=180
8x+5=180°
8x=180-5
8x=175
X=21.875
A= 2(21.875)+4=47.75
B=4(21.875)+2 =89.5
C=2(21.875)-1=42.75

Point B is between points A and C. Find the length of AC if AB = 3x - 2, BC = 2x + 7 and AC = 4x + 10

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

AC = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with:

$4x+10=3x-2+2x+7$

Combine like terms.

$4x+10=5x+5$

Subtract $4x$ from both sides of the equation.

$10=x+5$

Subtract $5$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = 5$

Then, substitute $5$ for $x$ in $AC=4x+10$

$AC=4(5)+10$

Multiply.

$AC=20+10$

Finally, add.

$AC=30$
