There are a number of possible combinations for this open-ended question, so here's an example question and answer, in which the two are non-related:
James' car is going at 45 miles per hour, and that is 42% of his maximum speed. How much slower does James have to go to be 27% of his maximum speed?
Amy's car used to be able to go at 45 miles per hour as 42% of her maximum speed, but due to the new upgrade, 45 miles per hour is now only 27% of her maximum speed.
Answer:
The first step is to replace the y in y-x=15 with 7x (we can do this because the first equation tells us that they're equal)
solve and get
(2.5,17.5)
or x= 2.5 y=17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to recognize that y=7x which means that we can just replace the y in the second equation with 7x
7x-x=15
6x=15
x=2.5
Then we can solve for y
y=7(2.5)
y=17.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer would be X = 10
