Answer:

(-2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Systems of equations can be solved using different methods. For this set of systems, you can multiply each equation by a factor in order to eliminate a variable and solve for the other variable:

-3(-5x - 3y = 7) or 15x + 9y = -21

5(-3x - 4y = 2) or <u>-15x -20y = 10</u>

-11y = -11

y = 1

Solve for x: -5x - 3 = 7

Add 3 to both sides: -5x -3 + 3 = 7 + 3 or -5x = 10

Solve for x: x = -2

(-2, 1)

Answer:

The result for this equation is $x = -5$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

-Solve the equation:

$3(4x-10)=2(3x-30)$

-Use Distributive Property:

$3(4x-10)=2(3x-30)$

$12x - 30=6x - 60$

-Subtract 6x and from 12x :

$12x - 30 -6x=6x -6x - 60$

$6x - 30=-60$

-Add both sides by 30:

$6x - 30 +30=-60 +30$

$6x =-30$

-Then, you divide both sides by 6:

$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{-30}{6}$

$x = -5$

So, therefore the answer is $x = -5$ .

Can someone help with this question? $32,000;7%decrease

Vitek1552 [10]

To find a decrease using a percentage you:

Original Amount - (Original Amount x Percentage)

So plug in:

32000 - (32000 x 7%) = 32000 - (32000 x 0.07) = 29760

The amount with a 7% decrease is $29,760.
