What is the answer for -5-(15y-1)=2(7y-16)-y

Mathematics

First distribute the negative through the parenthesis on the left and the 2 on the right.
-5 -15y +1 = 14y -32 - y
Combine like terms on the right and left
-4 -15y = 13y -32
Now move the variables to one side and the constants to the other.
Subtract 13y from both sides
-4 -28y = -32
Add 4 to both sides
-28y = -28
Divide both sides by -28
y = 1

The correct answer is:  [B]:  " (2, 5) ".
__________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
  -5x + y = -5 ;
  -4x + 2y = 2 .
___________________________________________
  Consider the first equation:
___________________________
-5x + y = -5 ;  ↔ y + (-5x) = -5 ;

↔ y - 5x = -5 ;  Add "5x" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve in terms of "y".
_____________________________________________
   y - 5x + 5x = -5 + 5x  

   y = -5 + 5x ;  ↔ y = 5x - 5 ;
____________________________________________
 Now, take our second equation:
______________________________
     -4x + 2y = 2 ; and plug in "(5x - 5)" for "y" ;  and solve for "x" :
_____________________________________________________
         -4x + 2(5x - 5) = 2 ; 
______________________________________________________
Note, 2(5x - 5) = 2(5x) - 2(5)  = 10x - 10 ;
__________________________________________
So:   -4x + 10x - 10 = 2 ;

On the left-hand side of the equation, combine the "like terms" ;

-4x +10x = 6x ;  and rewrite:

6x - 10 = 2  ;

Now, add "10" to each side of the equation:

6x - 10 + 10 = 2 + 10 ;

to get:

           6x = 12 ;  Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "6" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ; 

           6x/6 = 12 / 6 ;
 
                 x = 2 ;
_________________________________
Now, take our first given equation; and plug our solved value for "x" ; which is "2" ; and solve for "y" ;
_____________________________________
-5x + y = -5  ;

-5(2) + y = -5 ;

-10 + y = -5 ;  ↔
                              y - 10 = -5  ;

Add "10" to each side of the equation; to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;
     
         y - 10 + 10 = -5 + 10 ;

                   y = 5 .
_____________________________
So, we have, x = 2 ; and y = 5 .
____________________________
Now, let us check our work by plugging in "2" for "x" and "5" for "y" in BOTH the original first and second equations:
______________________________
first equation: 

-5x + y = -5 ;

-5(2) + 5 =? -5?

-10 + 5 =? -5 ? YES!
______________________
second equation:

-4x + 2y = 2 ;

-4(2) + 2(5) =? 2 ?

-8 + 10 =? 2 ?  Yes!
_______________________________________________________
So, the answer is: 
___________________________________________________________
          x = 2 , y = 5 ; or, "(2, 5)" ;  which is: "Answer choice: [B] " .
___________________________________________________________

If A's income is 25% less than that of B, then how much percent is B's income more than that of A?​
saul85 [17]
Let's say that B makes $100.

Then A makes $75.

So, your question then becomes 100 is what percent of 75?

This can be solved by setting up the proportion 100 / 75 = x / 100

75x = 10000

x = 133.3

So, B's income is 33.3% more than A's income.
