Mathematics

First translate the question into an equation.

"What percent" means x/100, "of 40" means times 40, "is 14" equals 14.

So we have (x)(40) = 14 or 40x = 14.

Dividing both sides by 40, we find that x = 0.35.

Now, we want to write our answer as a percent.

So we move the decimal 2 places to the right and we have 35%.

Solve the following system of equations. 2x + y = 3 x = 2y - 1 Make sure there are NO SPACES in your answer. Include a comma in
Natalka [10]
2x + y = 3
x = 2y - 1

solve for y in the first equation;
2x + y = 3
y = 3 - 2x 

x = 2y - 1
x = 2(3 - 2x) - 1
x = -4x + 5

solve for x;
x = -4x + 5
x + 4x = 5
5x = 5
x = 1

solve for y;
y = 3 - 2x
y = 3 - 2(1)
y = 1

the answer is: x = 1, y = 1

hope this helps, God bless!

First thing First. You must find have a common denominator. If you want to find it then you do this

3: 3 6 9 12 15 18 21
7: 7 14 21 28

Once you found a number they have in common (21) You do this next

3/7 * 3/3 = 9/21
2/3 * 7/7 = 14/21

Now the next thing you do is subtract your numerators but not the denominators

14-9=5

5/12

you cant simplified so your done! Hope this helps!!!!  <span />
