I believe the answer would be "infinitely many solutions" because you can put any number as x and y would be a different answer each time for both of the equations given. i hope this helps :)
Answer:
well then try to reinvert it an then x + - an divied it see how easy
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
the solution is x = 2 and y = 4 OR (2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question
Equation 1: 3x-2y= -2
Equation 2: 3x + y = 10
Subtract equation 1 from equation 2, that is
3x + y = 10 - (3x -2y = -2)
You get
3x - 3x + y - (-2y) = 10 - (-2)
0 + y + 2y = 10 + 2
3y = 12
Divide both sides by 3
∴ y = 12/3
y = 4
Substitute the value of y into equation 2 to get x
3x + y = 10
3x + 4 = 10
Then,
3x = 10 - 4
3x = 6
Divide both sides by 3
∴ x = 6/3
x = 2
Hence, the solution is x = 2 and y = 4

Answer: 800</h3>
======================================================
Work Shown:
(160 with blue eyes)/(500 total) = (x with blue eyes)/(2500 total)
160/500 = x/2500
x = 2500*(160/500)
x = 800
------------
Another approach:
160/500 = 0.32 = 32% of the first group has blue eyes
Assuming this percentage is the same for any group, then,
32% of 2500 = 0.32*2500 = 800 people of the second group are estimated to have blue eyes, of the 2500 total.
