If
x+y=-4
y-3x=16 or we cn write as
x+y=-4
-3x+y=16
i multiply the first equation by 3
3x+3y=-12
-3x+ y=16
4y=4
y=1
x+1=-4
x=-5
Let's first define variables.
y: number of shares of $ 10
x: number of shares of $ 12
We write the system of equations:
10x + 12y = 210
y = 2x + 5
Solving the system:
x = 75/17
y = 235/17
Answer:
she has:
75/17 shares of $ 12
235/17 shares of $ 10
30.
3/4 is equal to 75%, so take 75% of 40 by multiplying .75 by 40 to get 30
