The answer would be y=0.15x + 35 because 35 is like the base, the lowest he’ll pay, and then he’ll pay 0.15 which is 15% of the groups tips which is where the x comes in!
hope this helps!!
Using substitution:
first you have to express one variable in terms of the other, in this we can express y in terms of x:

Since both expressions are equal to y, you have to equal both expressions like this:

Now you can solve the equation:

Knowing x=10, you can use any of the expressions we found before to find y. In this case I'm going to use y= -x+9 because it's simpler but boy should give you the same result

So, the answer is x=10 and y=-1
There are 40 cats in the ecosystem.
You set 1/5 equal to x/200. Then you cross multiply the fractions to get 5x=200. You divide both terms by 5 to get x, which equals 40.
You can divide 16 and 12, which will get you 1 and 1/4 a person left, but rounded will get 2
Answer:
a^2 - 25
Step-by-step explanation:
5(a-5) turns into 5a - 25
a(a-5) turns into a^2 - 5a
added together, it's a^2 - 25
