Answer: The resultof adding the two equations is 3x= 32.  

The solution to the system is ( 4; 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, first we add the two equations.

2.5y + 3x =27

+

-2.5y +5x   = 5

----------------------

8x= 32

The resultof adding the two equations is 3x= 32

the next step is solving the equation:

8x= 32

x=32/8

x= 4

Substituting the value of x in any of the original equations:

2.5y +3x= 27

2.5y +3(4) =27

2.5y +12=27

2.5y  = 27-12

2.5y = 15

y= 15/2.5

y=6

So, the solution to the system is ( 4; 6)

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something.

Answer:

The solution to this system is (4, 1/6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Please separate these two equations for clarity.  I like to write them in column format:

2.5y + 3x = 27

5x – 2.5y = 5

---------------------

8x           = 32, and x = 4.

Subbing 4 for x in the second equation yields 5(4) - 2.5y = 5.

Then 20 - 2.5y = 5, or 15 = 2.5y.  Solving for y, we get y = 1/6.

The solution to this system is thus (4, 1/6).

Egal loggers got away with 4 acres of trees at a reserve in central Mexico. That number represents a 97 percent decline from two
geniusboy [140]

Answer: with 133.33 acres of trees

Step-by-step explanation:

4 acres of trees, is a 97% decrease of the previous amount.

This means that if the previous amount was X, then 4 acres is 3% (or 0.03 in decimal form) of X, or:

4 acres = 0.03*X

Now we can solve this for X as:

X = 4acres/0.03 = 133.33 acres

The illegal loggers got away with 133.33 acres of trees
