Hi! I'm happy to help!
Our town is composed of 2,000 people. Of those 2,000 people, 4/5 of them are middle class. The word 'of' usually means multiplication when it is in a word problem. So, we will multiply 2,000 by 4/5. When multiplying a whole number, we just multiply it by the numerator (top) and leave the denominator. (bottom)
2,000×4
8,000
8,000/5
Fractions are just a different way of putting division, so we can change this to a division problem:
8,000÷5=
1,600
1,600 of the people are middle class.
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

Answer:
x = -1
, y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the following system:
{5 x + 3 y = -2 | (equation 1)
3 x + 2 y = -1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 3/5 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{5 x + 3 y = -2 | (equation 1)
0 x+y/5 = 1/5 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 5:
{5 x + 3 y = -2 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 3 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{5 x+0 y = -5 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 5:
{x+0 y = -1 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = -1
, y = 1
