Your answer would look like this
Answer:
(-2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution is the point at which the two lines intersect, (-2,4). That point is the only one that satisfies (works) in both equations:
y = x + 6
4 = -2 + 6
and
y = -0.5x + 3
4 = -0.5(-2) + 3
4 = 1 + 3
====
You can also solve it algebraically:
y = x + 6
y = -0.5x + 3
-0.5x + 3 = x + 6 [Use the value of y from the second equation in the first equation]
-1.5x = 3
x = -2
Use this is y = -2 + 6:
y = 4
(-2,4)
As a percent is out of 100% or 1 (as a whole number), the best thing to do is multiply it by ten, until you get a whole number. As you cannot have a decimal in a percentage. 2.45x10= 24.5. This is still a decimal, so you need to multiply it be ten again, 24.5x10= 245.
Therefore, 2.45 is a percent is 245%
