Answer:

325,452 more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower

Step-by-step explanation:

An year has 365 days.

Each day has 24 hours.

Each hour has 60 minutes.

Minutes in an year:

365*24*60 = 525600

Persoid:

1 + \frac{1}{5} = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2

One each 1.2 minutes. How many during an year?

1 meteor - 1.2 minutes.

x meteors - 525600 minutes.

1.2x = 525600

x = \frac{525600}{1.2}

x = 438000

438,000 meteors fell during the Persoid shower.

Leonid:

4 + \frac{2}{3} = 4.67

One each 4.67 minutes. How many during an year.

1 meteor - 4.67 minutes.

x meteors - 525600 minutes.

4.67x = 525600

x = \frac{525600}{4.67}

x = 112548

112,548 meteors fell during the Leonid Shower.

How many more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower?

438,000 - 112,548 = 325,452

325,452 more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower

Combine like terms.

5x + 6 = -24

Subtract 6 from both sides.

5x = -30

Divide by 5 on both sides.

Answer:

x = 0

y = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in what y is equal to into the second equation

-3(x - 12) = 2x + 36

Distribute the -3

-3x + 36 = 2x + 36

      -36           -36

-3x = 2x

They cannot be equal so x = 0

Plug in 0 into the y equation

y = 0 - 12

y = -12
