Answer:
3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
I think A is right....
let see
75% decrease
A) 5x-7y=58
B) y=-x+2 we rearrange B) into
B) x + y = 2 then we multiply B) by -5
B) -5x -5y = -10 adding this to A)
A) 5x -7y = 58 we get
-12y = 48
y = -4
B) x + y = 2
x = 2 +4
x = 6
3(-4y)=6-4y
-12y=6-4y
-8y=6
y=-3/4
So the two expressions are equivalent, if and only if y = -3/4.
