4x + y = 5
3x + y = 8
y = -3x + 8
4x +(-3x + 8) = 5
4x -3x + 8 = 5
x + 8 = 5
x = -3
y = -3(-3) + 8
y = -9 + 8
y = -1
To figure out your question, just divide 999,999 by 9.
999,999/9 = 111,111
Answer:

The sear tower is
times higher than the sears tower model
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual sears tower is equal to the scale factor
Let
z------> the scale factor
x-------> the height of the model
y-------> the height of the actual
so

we have


substitute

simplify

Remember that

so

Given:
Original or base : 40
New amount : 72
We need to find the difference of the new amount and the original amount
72 - 40 = 32
We then divide the difference by the original amount
32/40 = 0.80
We multiply the quotient by 100%
0.80 x 100% = 80%
The percentage of change is 80%
