Answer: y = -2x + 1 1/6
Steps:
2x + 6y = 7
2x + y = 7/6
y = 7/6
y = -2x + 7/6
y = -2x + 1 1/6
Once cross multiplied you end up with this:
15x+75=20x−30
Next subtract 20x from both sides.
15x+75−20x=20x−30−20x
−5x+75=−30 -----------> Answer
Now subtract 75 from both sides
−5x+75−75=−30−75
−5x=−105
Now divide by -5 on both sides.
-5/-5x = -105/-5

x = 21 --------------> ANSWER</h3>
Answer:
6 people
Step-by-step explanation:
75% of 8 is 6
multiply 8 by the decimal .75
Answer:
<u>After a 75% increase, it would become</u>
x + 75%x = x + 0.75x = x(1 + 0.75) = 1.75x
<u>After a 50% decrease, it would become</u>
1.75x - 50%(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.5(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.875x = 0.875x =
Because is less than x, the new amount would be less than the original.
