<span><span><span><span>5x  </span>+<span>2y </span></span></span>=<span>6

</span></span>Add -2y to both sides

<span><span>5x</span>=<span><span>−<span>2y</span></span>+6

</span></span><span><span><span>‌</span></span></span>Divide both sides by 5

<span><span><span>3<span>(<span><span><span>‌<span><span>−2/</span>5</span></span>‌y</span>+<span><span>‌<span>6/5</span></span>‌</span></span>)</span></span>+<span><span>‌<span>12/5</span></span>‌y </span></span>=4

simplify

</span><span><span><span><span>‌<span>6/5</span></span>‌y</span>+<span><span>‌<span>18/5</span></span>‌ </span></span>=4

</span>Add (-18)/5 to both sides

<span><span><span>‌<span>6/5</span></span>‌y</span>=<span>‌<span>2/<span>5

divide both sides by 6/5

y = 1/3

substitute 1/3 for y in x = -2/5y +6/5 to solve for x

x = -2/5(1/3) +6/5

x = 16/15

so x = 16/15 and y = 1/3
 now replace both x and Y in each of the original equations to check the answers:

5(16/15) +2(1/3) =  5 1/3 + 2/3 = 6  true

3(16/15) - -12/5(1/3) = 4 true
 so they are parallel

Trina invited 60 people to her party and 42 said they would attend. What percent of people said they were NOT able to attend? Pl
Llana [10]
1. simplify 42/60 to 7/10 (42/60 divided by 2 is 21/30, 21/30 divided by 3 is 7/10)
2. if 10 x 10 = 100 than 7 x 10 = 70 so that would make it 70/100 which is 70%
so 70% is the answer

Hope this helps ;)
