No, because if you add on 6 more dollars to package 2 you would only have 6 socks for 12 dollars and on package A you would have 8 pairs for 12 dollars.
Answer:
6.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
percentage decrease= decrease/actually amount×100
2.35-2.20/2.35×100
0.15/2.35×100
0.06383×100=6.4%
Percentage decrease=6.4%
M, or slope, is needed to define if a set of lines are parallel or not.
Solve for one of the variables in the first equation (in this case, I will solve for X):
X = Y + 3
Then use that value of X in the second equation to solve for Y:
X + 3Y = 9
(Y + 3) + 3Y = 9
4Y + 3 = 9
4Y = 6
Y = 1.5
Use the value of Y we just found in the X equation we created:
X = Y + 3
X = 1.5 + 3
X = 4.5
Therefore X = 4.5 or 9/2 and Y = 1.5 or 3/2.
