Please help Explanation will be appreciated thanks,

Answer 1

Answer: A; 6.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

For the first problem, we first want to find y so that we can plug it into the expression.

We can use elimination method for the system of equations to solve.

3x+3y=21

3x-y=5

We subtract both equations to eliminate x.

4y=16                                        [divide both sides by 4]

y=4

Now that we know y, we can plug it into the expression.

$\frac{4}{2} -3$                                         [divide]

$2-3$                                         [subtract]

$-1$

We know that the answer is A.

Problem 2

For the second problem, we need to know how to calculate percent error. The formula for precent error is $\frac{|measured-exact|}{exact} *100%$. We know that the exact value is 80 because the buyer was supposed to given 80. 75 is the measured value because that was what the buyer was given.

$\frac{|75-80|}{80} *100%$                               [subtract]

$\frac{|-5|}{80} *100%$                                   [solve absolue value]

$\frac{5}{80} *100%$                                     [divide]

$0.0625*100%$                               [multiply]

$6.25$

Since the problem said to round to one decimal place, we know that the answer is 6.3%.
