Answer:
x = -5
y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 7y = 27 --------------(I)
-3x + y = 21 -----------(II)
Add equation (I) & (II) and so x will be eliminated and we can find the value of y.
(I) 3x + 7y = 27
(II) <u> -3x + y = 21 </u> {add}
8y = 48
y = 48/8
y = 6
Plugin y = 6 in equation (I)
3x +7*6 = 27
3x + 42 = 27
3x = 27 - 42
3x = -15
x = -15/3
x = -5
Answer:
693 fish
Step-by-step explanation:
In 10 years, we can tell that the amount of fish increased by 1.833...(990 divided by 540) times. If we divide 1.833... by 10, we can find how much the pond increases by yearly. we get 0.1833... If we multiply that by 7 (because the gap between 1986 and 1979 is 7 years), we get 1.2833... So, if we multiply 540 by 1.28333..., we get 693 fish.
For this case we can solve the problem by means of the following rule of three:
94 --------> 100%
17 --------> x
Clearing x we have:
x = (17/94) * (100)
x = 18,08510638%
To the nearest tenth of a percent:
x = 18.1%
Answer:
This is 18.1% of his compact discs.
