From the first equation,
x+5 = 3(y+5)
x = 3y + 15 - 5
Now substitue x in the second equation with (3y +15 - 5).
x-5 = 7(y-5)
(3y+15-5) - 5 = 7(y-5)
3y +5 = 7y - 35
-4y = - 40
y = 10
Since y is 10, and x is (3y +15 - 5),
x = 30 + 15 - 5 = 40
Answer:
80%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find percentage increase, we use the following formula:
Percentage Increase = 
Here
New means the latest value (which is 18 dancers)
Old means the previous value (which is 10 dancers)
The Multiplication by 100 is to convert the decimal answer to percentage.
So, we have:
New = 18
Old = 10
Now we substitute and find:

So, there was an increase of 80%
Answer: did u ever get the right answer?
Step-by-step explanation:
If u want to make the shape larger, u will have to multiply it by the scale factor that is greater then 1.
if u want to make the shape smaller, then u will multiply by the scale factor that is between 0 and 1
if the scale factor is 1, then the shapes are congruent
