26>-9
This states that 26 is greater than -9. Look at the > sign like it's an alligator's mouth - the alligator wants to eat the bigger side, and 26 is clearly bigger than -9, so the alligator wants to eat 26!
Answer: 27.44% of increase
Step-by-step explanation:
$274 - $215 = $59
$215___100%
$59___x= 27.44% of increase
Let x be the no. of oranges and y be the no. of tangerine.
From question, we get,
4y = x
=> 4y = 8260
=> y = 8260/4
=> y = 2065
Therefore, the farmer shipped 2065 tangerines
x – 2y = 4
ax– 6y = 12
The second equation must has a value for a that makes the second equation equal to the first. In other words a has to be something that divides through the second equation to get the first.
The easiest way to proceed is to look at the right hand side. One equation has 12 on the right. The other has 4. What do you have to do to 12 to get it down to 4. I suppose you could subtract 8, but that would not apply to the left side.
The answer is divide 12 by 3.
If you do that then the 6 is divided by 3.
Find a
Now you need to consider a's value. It is either 1 or 3. If you choose 1, you will not be able to divide properly: dividing by 3 will leave you with 1/3.
The thing you must do is make a = 3
The second equation then becomes
3x - 6y = 12 Divide everything by 3
x - 2y = 12/3 = 4
Answer: a = 3
