So.. 2.86 - 2.79 is the amount in decrease or 0.07

so.. if we take 2.86 as the 100%, how much is 0.07 of that in percentage?

well \bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
2.86&100\\
0.07&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{2.86}{0.07}=\cfrac{100}{x}

solve for "x"

If 2x + 5y = 10 and x = 3y + 1, what is 11x + 11y?
saul85 [17]
You have to solve the two equations by eliminating x or y 
<span>2x+5y=10 </span>
<span>x-3y=1 </span>
<span>Multiply all terms of second equation by two and subtract from first equation, thus eliminating x </span>

<span>2x+5y-2x+6y=10-2 </span>
<span>11y=8 </span>
<span>y=8/11 </span>
<span>x=3y+1=3* 8/11+1=25/11 </span>
<span>11x+11y= 11*25/11+ 11*8/11 </span>
<span>= 25+8=33</span>

Find the 64th term of the arithmetic sequence -4, -21, -38, ...−4,−21,−38,
lisov135 [29]

a_{n} = a_{1} + d(n - 1)  ; a₁ is the first term, d is the difference between terms, and n is the term

-4, -21, -38, ...   ⇒   a₁ = -4, d = -17

a_{n} = -4 - 17(n - 1)

   = -4 - 17n + 17

   = 13 - 17n

a_{64} = 13 - 17(64)

    = 13 - 1088

    = 1075

Answer: 1075
