Answer:

the solution is (-4, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by 2. This produces 4x + 2y = -14.

Now combine this result with the second equation:

4x + 2y = -14

-3x - 2y = 10

------------------

x = -4

Subbing -4 for x in the first equation yields 2x - 4 = -7, or 2x = -3.

Then x = -3/2, and the solution is (-4, -3)

The area of Terry's room at the old house was 96 ft.2. The area of Terry's room at the new house is 108 ft.2

Finger [1]

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to calculate the change in the area of Terry's room this is

108 ft2 - 96 ft2 = 12 ft2

Then we use a direct proportion in order to find the percentage

96 ft2 ----- 100%

12 ft2 ----- p?

Solvin for p we have that

$p=\frac{12\times 100}{96}$

p=12.5
