Basically, this problem is saying that if you multiply x by 3, then you will get a number that is one less than y. So, if you switch that around a bit, then the problem is saying that if you subtract 3x from y, you'll get 1.
Your final answer should be y - 3x = 1.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 3y = -18
Taking 3 common from left side
so, 3(2x+y) = -18
2x+y = -18/3
2x+y = -6 (equation 1)
and, 7x + 7y = 0
Taking 7 as commom from left side
7(x + y) = 0
x + y = 0/7
x + y = 0 (equation 2)
now , by using elimination method
subtracting equation2 from equation1
2x + y - (x + y)= -6 - 0
2x + y - x - y = -6
x = -6
so, x = -6
substituting value of x in equation 1
2(-6) + y = -6
-12 + y = -6
y = -6 +12
y = 6
hence, the value of x = -6
and value of y = 6
Answer: 25%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Previous baby's weight = 18 pounds
New baby's weight = 24 pounds.
Increase in weight = New weight -Previews weight
=24 pounds - 18 pounds =6 pounds
Percentage increase in baby's weight =
Hence, the percentage increase in baby's weight = 25%
