Decrease = 500000 - 420000 = 80000
Percent decrease = 80000 / 500000 x 100% = 16%

Use of word “amount” is irritating as in English this only used for measurements.
“Number” of cars would be better grammar.

Grace is three times as old as Hans, but in 5 years she will be twice as old as Hans is then. How old are they now? Set up an th
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

3x - y = 0; 2x - y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the present age of Hans and y be the present age of Grace,

Since, in present Grace is three times as old as Hans,

⇒ y = 3x

⇒ 3x - y = 0

Now, after 5 years,

The age of Hans = x + 5,

And, the age of Grace = y + 5

Also, in 5 years Grace will be twice as old as Hans is then,

⇒ y + 5 = 2 ( x + 5 )

⇒ y + 5 = 2x + 10

⇒ 2x - y = -5

Hence, the required system of linear equations is,

3x - y = 0; 2x - y = -5

Greg has decreased his running time by 1/10 minute each of the last six weeks. Write an expression to represent the total change
Nastasia [14]

x is your starting running time. 1/10 of a minute is 6 seconds, so you can do x - 6(6). 6 times 6 = 36, so your answer is x - 36 seconds. 36 seconds.
