Answer:

x = 1/2

y = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we're gonna use the elimination method, by eliminating one of x or y to find the value of the other one.

y = x + 2 --------------(1)

x + y = 3 --------------(2)

In (1), x is in LHS and y is in RHS. To make things simpler, we take both x and y to the same side.

y           = x + 2

y - x      = x + 2 - x ( take x to the other side)

y - x      = 2-------------------------(3)

Note that in (2), x is positive and in (3), x is negative. So by adding these two, we can single out y because +x and -x cancels out. So we can eliminate x.

(3) +  (1) : (x+y) + (y- x) = 3 + 2

              2y                 = 5

              y                   = 5/2

Substituting y = 5/2 for (1),

5/2 - x  = 2

5/2       = 2 + x

5/2 - 4/2 = x

x   = 1/2

∴ x = 1/2

  y = 5/2

Hope i helped you :)

Answer:  \bold{\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2},2\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)}\qquad \implies \qquad \bold{\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{5}{2}\bigg)}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

y = x + 2       x + y = 3

Solve using Substitution Method by replacing y with x + 2:

                    x + (x + 2) = 3

                         2x + 2 = 3

                         2x       = 1

                           x        = \dfrac{1}{2}

Next, replace x with 1/2 in one of the original equations and solve for y:

y = x + 2

  = \dfrac{1}{2} + 2

  = 2\dfrac{1}{2}

“To use proportions to solve ratio word problems, we need to follow these steps:
Identify the known ratio and the unknown ratio.
Set up the proportion.
Cross-multiply and solve.
Check the answer by plugging the result into the unknown ratio.”
I hope this helps.

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

A spreadsheet is a useful tool for keeping track of the numbers. A picture of one is attached.

We have assumed that the dollar amount for housing computed in the first part remains the same (though the percentage changes). If that is not the case, you'll have to recompute.

Likewise, we assume that the "5%" retirement amount remains 5% of the nominal salary, rather than 5% of the salary after the mandatory retirement deduction. Similarly, we assume dance lessons remain at their original amount, and were not reduced when the company began taking mandatory retirement.

Feel free to build your own spreadsheet and recompute as needed for any assumptions I got wrong, or for any additional scenarios.
