Answer:
(3, - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 4y = -11
2x + 3y = -9
Multiply the top equation by 2 and the bottom equation by - 5 to cancel out the x's.
10x - 8y = - 22
- 10x - 15y = 45
Cancel out x's.
-8y = - 22
- 15y = 45
Add like terms.
- 23y = 23
Can't have a negative variable to flip them.
-23 = 23y
Divide.
y = - 1
Input y into one of the equations and solve for x.
2x + 3(-1) = -9
Simplify.
2x -3 = -9
Cancel out -3 by adding 3.
2x = -6
Divide.
x - -3
That would be 16 because all the others are multiples of 3.
Answer:
66%(technically 0.66 repeating)
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to figure out what percentage of 69 equates to 46. In other words, we need to figure out what percentage <u>times</u> 69 equals 46:

Now that we formed this equation, we can solve for the percentage as if it was x.
First lets simplfy:

Now we can solve for x just by getting x alone, which means we must remove the coefficent. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 69:

=

Putting this into the form of percentage, we must multiply by 100. Since, the percentage form of a decimal is 100 times bigger(moved up 2 decimal places):

=
percentage = 66%
Hope this helps! :3
15:45 in simplest form is 1:3
the LCM of 15 and 45 is 15, and when you divide both by 15, you get 1:3
