First, let's cancel out the x by multiplying 2x + 18y = -9 by -2.
-2 ( 2x + 18y = -9) = -4x -36y = 18
Then, we combine the two equations.
-4x + 4x = 0
18y - 36y = -18y
-27 + 18 = -9
Our new equation is -18y = -9.
Now, divide both sides by -18.
-18y / -18 = y
-9/ -18 = 1/2
y = 1/2
We can plug in a value for y since y = 1/2 now.
Let's use 2x + 18y = -9
Plug in y.
2x + 18(1/2) = -9
2x + 9 = -9
Then, subtract 9 from both sides.
2x = -18
Divide by 2.
2x/2 = x
-18/2 = -9
x = -9
Lastly, we can plug in both x and y values to see it works.
2(-9) + 18(1/2) = -9
-18 + 9 = -9
Therefore, the values of x and y does work.
x = -9
y = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Raymond wants to estimate the percentage of parents that use cloth diapers. He asks a randomly selected group of 200 parents whether or not they use cloth diapers.
The parameter are the number which are used to represents the quantity of a particular characteristic in entire population.
We know that to estimate the percentage of success we use the proportion of success parameter "p".
Hence, the parameter here is "p" , the proportion of parents that use cloth diapers.
