7x+5y=-24 (1)
4x+y=42 (2)
multiply equation (2) by 5 to get
20x+5y=210 (3)
then calculate (3)-(2) which gives you
13x=234 hence x=18
then substitute for x in either equation to get y=-30
Alright, so since I don't have an example question, I will make one up.
there are 8 coins in total. there are 6 dimes. What is the fraction of dimes to coins.
you would put the amount of dimes on the top and the total on the bottom.
Answer: 6/8 which can be simplified to 3/4
Or another Example:
There are 12 pieces in the pizza. Billy took 4. what is the fraction of the slices left.
it would be 4-12= 8
Answer: 8/12 which can be simplified to 4/6 and then to 2/3
Hope that helped.

Then, the rate is:
