6 5/6 just subtract 2 from the whole (8)
The r% of a quantity x is computed by dividing x in 100 parts, and considering r of such parts. So, the r% of the male is
and similarly, the r% of female is
The number of males decreased by this quantity, so now it is
and the number of female increased by this quantity, so now it is
we know that these two new counts are the same number, so we can build and solve the equality
Subtract 20 and add 0.3r from both sides:
Divide both sides by 0.5 to solve for r:
Let's check the answer
The 20% of 30 is 
, while the 20% of 20 is 4. So, we are stating that 
which is true because both expressions evaluate to 24.
Answer:
[2] x = -5y - 4
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] 2•(-5y-4) - 5y = 22
[1] - 15y = 30
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 15y = - 30
[1] y = - 2
// By now we know this much :
x = -5y-4
y = -2
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = -5(-2)-4 = 6
Solution :
{x,y} = {6,-2}

Answer:
The finish line
Step-by-step explanation:
Jonas is planning his trip using the finish line as reference point. He is using an interval scale (using meters as measurement) and the finish line = 0 meters or the starting point. Anything before the finish is negative and anything after is positive. In this case, his wife is located at 91 + 14 = 105 meters away from him. When you use an interval scale to measure distance, you must use absolute values to determine the distance because positive and negative points.
