Answer:

x=5, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to multiply both sides of the second equation by -1 so that you can proceed the elimination process. Like this...

x + y = 6

x - 4y = 1

x + y = 6

-x + 4y =- 1

Now you can eliminate the x variable by addition process. It becomes like this...

x + y = 6

-x + 4y =- 1

5y=5

y = 1

Now, let's proceed substitution process. You can substitute the value of y into any equation that you want. I want to put the value of y into the equation of x + y = 6 .

When y=1, substitute into x + y = 6

x + 1 = 6

x = 6-1

x = 5

Hooray! Now you have the value of x and y.

x= 1 and y=5.

I hope you will understand my explanation. Bye!

55 is 40% of what number
Oxana [17]
It is important to do the calculations very carefully. Otherwise there is nothing complicated about this problem.
Let us assume the unknown number = x
Then
40x/100 = 55
40x = 55 * 100
40x = 5500
x = 5500/40
  = 550/4
  = 137.5
So 55 is 40% of 137.50. I hope the procedure is clear to you and in future you can solve such problems on your own without requiring any help from outside.This is the simplest way of solving such problems.
