is already simplified because 31 is a prime number. A prime number has two factors, one and the number itself.
There are 540 fuses in total and the original price of the internet is $55.91
<h3>
How to work with percentages?</h3>
a) We know that 5% of the fuses are faulty, and there are 27 faulty fusses, then we can write:
5% = 27
100% = x
We want to find x, to do that, we can write:
x = 27*(100%/5%) = 27*20 = 540
There are 540 fuses in total.
b) Now we know that the original price is P, and when we decrease it by 7%, then new price is $52.00
Then we can write:
$52.00 = P*(1 - 7%/100%)
$52.00 = P*(0.93)
$52.00/0.93 = P = $55.91
The original price is $55.91

Answer:
(-3,1)
Step-by-step explanation:
9x+8y=-19
7x+9y=-12
I'll assume the question is to find the solution to these equations. The solution will be the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. The intersection is the one point that satisfies both equations (the smae value of (x,y) works in both.
We can either solve matematically of graph to find the intersection. I'll do both, and hope the answers are identical.
<u>Matematically</u>
Rearrange either equation to isolate one of the variables (either x or y). I'll take the second and isolate x:
7x+9y=-12
7x = -9y - 12
x = (-9y - 12)/7
Now use this definition of x in the other equation:
9x+8y=-19
9((-9y - 12)/7) + 8y = -19
(-81y - 108)/7 + 8y = -19
-81y - 108 + 56y = - 133
-25y = -25
<u>y = 1</u>
If y = 1, then:
9x+8y=-19
9x+8(1)=-19
9x = -27
<u>x = -3</u>
<u></u>
<u>The solution is (-3,1)</u>
<u>Graphing</u>
<u></u>
Graph both lines and look for the intersection. The attached graph shows the lines cross at (-3,1).
The solution, bu both approachjes, is (-3,1)
