Answer:
(6,-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x-9y = 18 (equation 1)
4x+3y = 12 (equation 2)
multiply equation 2 by 3, and add it to equation 2
-3x-9y = 18
12x+9y = 36
-----------------
X's cancel out
9x = 54
Divide both sides by 9
x = 6
Plug in 6 for x in any of the original equations
(Plugging into Equation 2)
4(6)+3y = 12 Multiply 4(6)
24+3y = 12 Subtract 24 from both sides
3y = -12 Divide 3 on both sides
y = -4
Therefore the solution is (6,-4).
You started out with 260, and increased to 430.
The amount you increased was (430 - 260) = 170
170 is (170/260) = <em>65.4%</em> of what you started with.
============================
Another way:
The new amount is (430/260) of the old amount.
430 / 260 = 1.654 = 165.4%
The original amount was 260.
You started with 100% of it.
You ended up with 165.4% of it.
That's an increase of 65.4% .
Answer:
this is a required answer.
This will be false because that’s not the average winter temperatures in 45 states
<span>–6(x – 2y) when x = –3 and y = –5
so
</span><span>–6(x – 2y)
= </span><span>–6(-3 – 2(-5))
= -6(-3 + 10)
= -6(7)
= -42
