Hiya. I'm going to rewrite the second equation.
By subtracting 5x by both sides, I'll be able to have y by itself:
-y=-5x+13
I'm going to then divide both sides by -1 to get:
y=5x-13.
Then, I'm going to plug that equation into the first equation
3x+2(5x-13)=39
Factor:
3x+10x-26=39
Combine like terms:
13x=65
Divide both sides by 13 to get x by itself to get x=5
Plug this back into the equation of y=5x-13
y=5(5)-13 to get y=12
Do a proportion
8/100= x/70
Cross multiply and divide
70 x 8= 560
560 divided by 100= 5.6
Answer is 5.6
You also could have done .08 x 70 which is also 5.6
Answer:
12 % reduction
Step-by-step explanation:
11800 - 10384 = 1416
1416 / 11800 = 0.12
0.12 × 100 = 12
