3x + 4y = 17....multiply by 4
-4x - 3y = - 18 ....multiply by 3
-------------------
12x + 16y = 68 (result of multiplying by 4)
-12x - 9y = - 54 (result of multiplying by 3)
------------------add
7y = 14
y = 14/7
y = 2

3x + 4y = 17
3x + 4(2) = 17
3x + 8 = 17
3x = 17 - 8
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3

solution is (3,2)

Papessa [141]
Not sure if I’m understanding this wrong but for x you can multiply the top equation by -3 to get -12x-15y=-21 and the bottom by 4 to get 12x-8y=-48.
For y you can multiply the top equation by 2 to get 8x+10y=14 and the bottom equation by 5 to get 15x-10y=-60

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 80% is water and 20% is from other material

2. Lets say a fruit has 100g, to make it easier to understand

2. if the fruit loses 75% of its water, it will lose 75% of 80%, which is 60% of the total weight or 60g lost. The fruit is now 40g

3. If 20% was other material (20g), now other material is 50% (the same 20g)

4. Water is now only 20g, which is 50% of the total weight
