Answer:
2x + 4y = 4
-8x + 8y = -16.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find an equivalent system by multiply the 2 equations by 2.
x + 2y = 2 multiplied by 2 is 2x + 4y = 4.
20 days
x=number of days vacation
y=daily expenses
xy=1100
(x+2)(y-5)=1100
*******
xy-5x+2y-10=1100
xy-5x+2y=1110
y=1100/x
x(1100/x)-5x+2(1100/x)=1110
1100-5x+(2200/x)=1110
-5x+(2200/x)=10
-5x^2 + 2200 = 10x
-x^2 + (440) = 2x
x^2 - 440 + 2x = 0
(x+22)(x-20)=0
x=-22,20
only take the positive answer because the negative answer doesn't make sense in the question
so the answer is 20

Answer:
22.7%
Explanation:
Given that last year stock for company A was $7200
The stock for company B last year was worth $3510
Stock in company A decreased by 24%
This means the new value of stock for company A became;
(100-24)/100 *$7200
76/100*$7200
0.76*7200 =$5472
Stock in company B decreased by 20%
This means the new value of stock for company B became;
(100-20)/100 *$3510
80/100*$3510
0.8*$3510
$2808
Original investors stock value was = $7200+$3510 =$10710
New investors stock value is = $5472+$2808=$8280
Decrease in value of stock = $10710-$8280 =$2430
percentage decrease in stock value = decrease in stock/original value of stock *100%
=2430/10710 *100 =22.689
=22.7%
It's 0.125, it's not endless either
