Formula for finding percent change (increase or decrease) is amount of the change divided by the original amount.
Here, the amount of the change is 50 and the original amount is 250.
50/250= 0.2
Multiply by 100 to get percent.
20% decrease (because budget went down)
Ok so right now leave the x's alone. Now add/subtract the numbers without variables which would equal to 0 since -1+4 = 3 and 3-3 =0
now 7x+x =8x so 8x is answer
If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:
4x^2 + 9y^2 = 72
2x - y = 4 ... 2x - 4 = y
_________
<span>4x^2 + 9y^2 = 72
</span><span>4x^2 + 9 * (2x - 4)^2 = 72
</span>4x^2 + 9 * (4x^2 - 16x + 16) = 72
4x^2 + 36x^2 - 144x + 144 = 72
40x^2 - 144x + 144 - 72 = 0
40x^2 - 144x + 72 = 0
10x^2 - 36x + 18 = 0
5x^2 - 18x + 9 = 0
(5x - 3) * (x - 3) = 0
1. 5x - 3 = 0 ... 5x = 3 ... x = 3/5
2. x = 3
<span>1. y = 2x - 4 = 2 * 3/5 - 4 = 6/5 - 20/5 = -14/5
2. y = 2x - 4 = 2 * 3 - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2
1. (x, y) = (3/5, -14/5)
2. (x, y) = (3, 2)
The correct result would be </span>(3/5, -14/5) and <span>(3, 2).</span>
Answer:x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation:
5x+2=17
5x=15
x=3
