Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 lost is 1/3 kept
2/3 of the 1/3 kept is 2/9 lost
1/3 x - 2/9 x = 4
3/9 x - 2/9 x = 4
1/9 x = 4
x = 36
First she lost 2/3 of 36, which is 24. She had 12 left. Then she lost 2/3 of 12 which is 8. She had 4 left.
X=2y
2x+5y=9
substitute the x=2y into the second equation
2(2y)+5y=9
multiple the 2y by 2. 4y+5y=9
combine like terms. 9y=9
divide the 9 out from both sides. y=1
plug the y back into the first equation
x=2(1)
multiply. x=2
your answer is: x=2
y=1
