Solve the following systems algebraically<br> a. x+2y=17 <br> x-y=2

motikmotik

There are 3 methods to solve this. elimination substitution and graphing but i am going to use the elimination method.
x+2y=17
<u> x-y =2
</u> 0+3y =15 ( subtracted down to eliminate the x)( x-x=0, 2y-(-y)=3y, and 17-2=15)
3y=15 (divide both sides by 3 to solve for y)
y=5
<u>substitute the y=5 in any of the above equations and solve for x
ie... ( </u>meaning where you find y in the equation, u replace it with a 5)

it will be easier to solve for x in (x-y=2) so i will use that one.
x-(5)=2 ( add 5 on both sides to solve for x)
x=7

How do you find the percent of increase from 12 to 18?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Let's get the data out of the problem:

Nv = 18

Ov = 12

Now, we can apply in this equation that relates the new and the old values:

i = Nv / Ov

i = 18 / 12

i = 1.5

Now, we just consider what has passed from 1, and this is 0.5, converting to percentage it is:

p = 0.5 . 100

p = 50%

The increase was 50%.

Hope it helps.

eduard

The complete question in the attached figure

we have that
between beats 2 and 3----------> (392-261.6)=130.4-------> increases
between beats 3 and 4----------> (392-392)=0-----> <span>it stays with the same value
</span>between beats 4 and 5----------> (444-392)=52--------> increases
between beats 5 and 6----------> (444-444)=0-----> it stays with the same value
between beats 6 and 7----------> (392-444)=-52-------> decreases

the answer is
between beats 6 and 7----------> (392-444)=-52-------> decreases
